mart 131 Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 the ones we have here in norway are a very vaired bunch. most of them are used for roedeer and elkhunting, but some are used for fox and badger. the problem is that they tend to be a bit to big for earthwork, and also a bit to hard. i know of several jagds that has gotten killed by badger/fox, but not a single one of the british breeds. they are incredibly game though, and a fellow i know sent his two jagds after a wounded lynx this winter.(the lynx is a 40 pound cat.) it had (sort of)"gone to ground", the terriers located her, and one crazy b*****d crawled in and shot her with a revolver. needless to say, they were pretty beaten up after the encounter. OT:whats up with the brits nowadays, did`nt think you were to fond of the krauts? Quote Link to post

Vermindog 1 Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 The German Hunt Terrier (Deutsche Jagd Terrier) was first bred to become the perfect all round terrier, but sadly such an animal does not really exist, but they are mostly still in the Hands of Jagers (Hunters) and it is sometimes very difficult to obtain one if you are not yourself a Hunter, they seem to work best on Wild Boar, as they are as a rule to big for earth work, the majority of them are extremly game, in fact they are definatly the jaws on type of terrier, sadly they are generally also not very sociable either with other dogs or people, but if you like a real game terrier these dogs are it. rgds Dave, Quote Link to post

Nino (Italy) 13 Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 The Jagdterrier is a great dog. It's a 100% game dog, but there are a lot of several bloodlines, some are too big so they are used for wild boar others are too strong and fearless so often dies down in the hole when meets a brock. In Italy we are try to select more balanced dogs, with more brain, i think that the first results are going on.. If you want a Jagdterrier you have to move out of GB, if I can give you a suggest come in Italy to find your dog or in Germany or Osterraich, because if you go too in the east of Europe u risk to find tto fearlees dogs. Good luck, Nino. MY BITCH: Emme dei Pianacci Quote Link to post
valerio 32 Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 My family and friends are using jagdterriers for underground work from the late 70s. well breed jagdterriers are not too big for underground work,and really hard sometimes too much.They have a real good nose,very strong jaws but they can be dog aggressive.Good estern europeans lines produce an hight number of proven fox killers. At the moment the best jagdterriers for underground work are in Serbia and Croatia.Some blood lines from this countries are totally mad and need an expert and determined owner. Quote Link to post

Nout wrong with the breeds we got. I dont think there is any need for the jadg over here Quote Link to post
Vermindog 1 Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 I am with you there OldNog, there is absolutly no reason why anyone in the UK would need a DJT, although I am English I have lived in Holland for many years now and all my hunting is done in Holland,Germany, and Belgium, with the occasional trip to Blighty thrown in. My opinion of the Jagd Terrier is that it can be used on Wild Boar and it is good at that, very good, but for earth work they are in my mind to mental and are always being damaged and cost a fortune in vets bills. No, aaron01, I would say that if you want a Jagd go first to Germany or Serbia or Croatia and see them work first, then I think that you would agree with what OldNog and myself are saying. rgds Dave.

You get looked at funny if your terriers over here have a few marks....can you imagen the looks you would get walking a constantly beat up jagd? The genuine folk stay well clear of the show rubbish, you just got to know who to ask. The jagd has no place working in this country in my opinion Quote Link to post
Waz 4,252 Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 If youve got plenty of land and can hunt varied quarry above and below, you would have a lot of fun with a jagd terrier. But I would also recommend getting on first name terms with the vet before hand, for supplies or maybe a loyalty card,, LOL In my experience they are a cracking terrier, but if you havent got the work, they could be a 'good dog gone bad' vert easily. They are super crazy for work,. Admirable traits but for me a few undesirable traits come with them. Quote Link to post
