I personally can't judge them as earth dogs, but I did visit a jagd kennel in Sweden in the summer, out of 5 dogs, only one, a large male I would of considered a bit too big......but all were used above & below....2 bitches were barely 13inch. Edited September 22, 2014 by Accip74

There are two main strains ones used for earth work and ones used for top work the ones used for top being larger

The jagd i had was the smaller strain and done its job just like any pat thers good and bad in all types

I had two jagdterriers, male and female. Both for earth work. 13inches Both, male maybe little Bigger. Bitch was good, stayed on game biting hard, didnt run out and Lots of preydrive. Male wasnt very good, kill foxes but runs often out. Have seen many Jagds and best of them are really good but you have to know right strains. Best are from old DDR area...

I think there's no better earth dogs in the world than the gb and ireland strains. Some people can't see the wood for the trees.

I meant only jagdterrier strains for earthwork. And i have pat now

From my opinion there ignarant c**ts only my veiw that is

Plenty of good ones and plenty of crap ones in any breed of terrier. There are a lot more than two strains of Jagdterriers out there, just the same with JRTs and Fells and Patterdales etc. The initial aim of the breeders cack in the early 1900s was to breed a truly versatile hunting terrier - game finder & flusher, retriever, blood tracker and hole dog. Many were bred as such and many ended up as specialised hole dogs for digging to fox & badger etc, Many also ended up as competition dogs used on similar critters in artificial dens.

 

Mine are all rounders and don't do a bad job.

at least with all the other breeds and different preferences of quarry it gives us plenty to talk about with like minded people

Just my opinion but theyre bred out of stuff from England anyway. Why buy stuff from Europe when it all comes from here anyway

[steamingutpiles 117]

Your right as far as the origin of the breed is concerned. The same applies to a number of other performance breeds too. The left the UK and ended up in places where they were refined into some pretty awesome dogs. The Germans, renown for their breeding of quality hunting dogs, immaculate record keeping and attention to detail, did a good job in coming up with Jagdterriers. These days there are very few places in Europe where they cannot be found being utilised for what they were bred. They are gaining popularity in the USA, Australia, South Africa and Japan as well. They are also an FCI breed.

 

I just hope their future doesn't end up solely in the hands of the "show people" who don't regard performance as a breeding selection criteria and they wind up with the majority of their other terrier cousins as detuned lap dogs.
