As far as a dog having voice goes.... I've taken it that a jagd should give voice similar to a hound when on track and above ground... Correct me if I'm wrong Jawn or Mosby... That's the part that would be hard for me to get used to because my dogs are silent when working above ground "bushing" style, my younger dog will give a few barks and engage game, my older dog is silent altogether, below my dogs will let out a few barks and engage, my older dog stays engaged without a peep, younger dog may bark and re engage. I'm not saying good or bad as far as voice on a jagd goes,I'm just saying its not something I'm used to! Some places I hunt its really nice to have a silent dog!

No you pretty much hit the nail on the head. When we free cast dogs they can pick up a pretty cold track. When they do they sound off. When they straighten it out and get to the coon or whatever the job description is the same as yours unless it trees in which case the voice is a big plus too. The only time I want them to bay is on hogs. Some will some won't. Those that don't die. But on small game they anchor it until it can be dispatched or they do it themselves. I haven't seen where voice affects the amount of game I get with possible exception of hogs and even then it depends on the area and the dogs. Some learn the quickest way to close the distance is to shut up and run. But with slow moving small game, voice won't give a coon the kind of warning a good nose can't make up for.

We use 'em here for finding and pushing Sambar deer out of heavy cover. The trail barking, sharp nose and acute prey drive make them deadly. I run mine pure. I can't see how crossing them up will improve them.

The same story in Ukraine. We have a lot of talk about Jagds are very noisy, but I think this is the indication of their anger and desire to suppress the animal that in front of him. My dog used to ​​gave a lot of voice, even when it is not needed, but with age started doing it smarter and I clearly understand the difference in tone when it is on the searching, when pursuing and when visible contact with the animal. Also gives a voice on water, in reed and underground. This causes the animal to leave quickly hiding place, but it takes more energy from dog, especially underground. We also have some Jagds working quietly. They just go and do their job, but for me it's harder to understand the situation around . Many people have many different preferences, and If not their sharp nose, loud barking and courage then what made them so popular all over the world? Jagd very young breed. They have started in the 30th and lost many members of their species during the Second World War. They have good blood and brains to keep working on them. IMPO.
