The Jagdterrier is a versatile Hunting Dog from Germany. In German, jagdterrier literally means “hunter terrier.” He is particularly suited to hunting under the ground and as a stray dog and is relatively small, compact and well proportioned. It has a thick coat, hard and rough or course and smooth, usually black and tan, but may also be dark brown or brown-black in color. The marks of the body are at the base of his eyebrows, snout, chest, legs and his tail. There may also be small white marks on his chest and toes.
After World War I, a small group of active hunters separated from the much larger Fox-Terrier Club. The objective of this group was to create a breed based on hunting performance. Veteran hunters and gynecologists Rudolf Frey, Walter Zengberg and Karl-Erich Gruenwald decided to select a black and tan Hunting Dog that was particularly suited to underground hunting. A coincidence arose in support of his efforts: Lutz Heck, a zoo director, presented Walter Zengberg with four black and tan terriers, who were asked to come from purebred fox-terrier lines. These dogs became the foundation store of Jagdterrier.
At this time, Drs. Herbert Lackner joined the founders. Through many years of intensive breeding efforts and skilled crossings with the Old English wirehair terrier as well as the Welsh terrier, they were successful in recovering their breed presence. At the same time, they place great emphasis on breeding a multi-talented, easily trained, hard-nosed, tongue-giver and water-happy dog with a clear hunting instinct. In 1926 the German Hunting Terrier Club (Deutscher Jagterer-Club e.V.) was founded. As always, breeders continued to value the breed most carefully for its usefulness as a Hunting Dog, its stability of character, its courage and expedition.
Jagdterrier is a small-sized dog, compact and consistent with an almost square shape. These athletic dogs have a lively performance; When they relax they display a regal bearing. The height of the Jagdterrier measured from the ground to the slit should not be less than 13 and not more than 16 . The ideal weight for these Working Dogs is 20 to 22 pounds for males and 16.5 to 18.7 pounds for Jagdterrier females. Several ratios in the standard are important for this breed. The circumference of the dog’s chest should be 4 o 8 higher than the height of the dog. The height of the Jagdterrier is 55 to 60% of chest depth. The dog’s body is barely longer than the height. The thick skin of the Dolcer Jagdterrier is tight, without folds. They have thick coats that protect them from bribery, cold, and moisture. Their thick hair should be rough and rough or thick and smooth. The color of the coat may be black, dark brown, brownish black, with clearly defined yellow-red (fawn) markings at the base of their eyebrows, muzzle, chest, legs, and tail. A lighter or darker mask is acceptable. Small, white marks are allowed on their feet and chest. Their long heads are of little wedge shape, but not pointed. The muzzle is slightly longer than the length of the skull, which is from the occipital to the stop. Their skull is flat, wide between the ears and narrowed between the eyes. Their small, dark eyes are oval in shape to avoid injury. The eyelids are tight and the expression is determined. They have V-shaped, semi-dropped ears that are set high. Their small ears lightly touch the side of their head. The ears are thick enough to withstand tears or injury from ingestion and thickening. Jagdterrier have little stoppage and pronounced cheeks. They do not have cracks in their noses, and they are neither too small nor too narrow, but in a harmonious proportion to the muzzle. The nose is usually black, but if the dog’s coat is mostly brown, its nose may be brown. His strong muzzle sports a pronounced chin and a distinct under-jaw. Their jaws in scissors cut across a whole set of forty-two teeth. The upper incisors lock onto the lower incenders with no gaps; The teeth stand adjacent to the jaw. The lips are tight and well pigmented. Their strong necks are long and somewhat arched, being wide they fit into the shoulders. The shoulder blade is long, muscular, and is oblique and backward with many angles in relation to the upper arm.Jagdterrier have defined a well-folded and straight topline. His deep, narrow chest has long ribs with well-ripped ribs. The back is strong and not too low. With a slight tuck in the abdomen, bow downwards. He has a short, strong flex and a well muscled loan. The group is muscular and flat. Their legs are well proportioned in relation to the rest of their body. Their forlegs are straight and parallel, when viewed from the front. They are placed well under the body from the armpit. The elbow distance from the ground is almost the same as the elbow withers. The upper arm of the forearm should be long and muscular without wrinkles; The elbows are placed close to the body and do not turn inward or outward. The angle between the upper arm and the forearm is good. Their forearms are straight and straight, dry, with strong bones. They also have strong bones in the pestern, which is slightly annoyed by the ground; The previous joint is also strong. When viewed from behind, the constraints of Jagdterrier are straight and parallel. They have a good angle between the upper and lower thighs and hips. His upper and lower thighs are long and fleshy; The upper is wide while the lower is sinful. Stronger stifles have a good angle between the upper and lower thighs. Their socks are short and erect, with the hawk joint kept low. Their tails are well set for their long clusters and docked about a third. (Note: In countries where docking is prohibited, the tail may be left in a natural position.) They lift their tails slightly, never letting it bend on their back. If it is a natural tail, it should be carried horizontally or slightly as a saber. The forearms are often wider than the hind legs. Their feet are round to oval, with the toes closed together. Their deep pads are thick and hard. The forefat and hind legs are parallel, neither turning inward nor outward, whether standing or moving. When in motion, the Jagdterrier cover a lot of ground with a free movement; They show long reach at the front and a powerful drive at the back of the body. The Jagdterrieris a small-sized dog, compact and consistent with an almost square shape. These athletic dogs have a lively performance; When they relax they display a regal bearing. The height of the Jagdterrier measured from the ground to the slipping, should not be less than 13 and not more than 16 . The ideal weight for these Working Dogs is 20 to 22 pounds for males and 16.5 to 18.7 pounds for Jagdterrier females. Several ratios in the standard are important for this breed. The circumference of the dog’s chest is the height of the dog.
The gestation period in lasts for 60-64 days The primary period of the reproductive cycle of the female is called Proestrus and goes on for around 9 days. During this time the females begin to draw in males. The subsequent part is the Estrus when the bitch is receptive to the male. It goes on for around 3 to 11 days. The third part is the Diestrus. Usually, it happens around day 14. In this period the bitch’s discharge changes for distinctive red and reaching its end. The vulva gets back to average, and she will no longer allow mating. The fourth part called the Anestrus. The time span between heat periods ordinarily keeps going around a half year. The litter size ranges between 6 to 8 puppies at a time.
Beyond regular weekly grooming, occasional bathing will keep your Jagdterrier clean and best looked after. Grooming can be a wonderful bonding experience for you and your dog. Strong, fast-growing nails should be trimmed regularly with a nail clipper or grinder to avoid overgrowth, splitting, and breakage. The ear should be examined regularly to avoid a buildup of wax and debris, which may result in infection. The teeth should be brushed regularly.
As with all breeds, initial socialization and puppy training classes are recommended. This breed has a reputation for being difficult at home. However, in every other case, it is very easy to train them. For example, they like to do tricks and quickly learn new ones. They respond very well to training based on positive rewards rather than harsh or negative methods. This breed is required to live with its family and is likely to result in undesirable behavior if it is regularly left alone for long periods of time.
Exercise options may include playing time in the backyard, preferably being fired, or taken for a walk several times a day. Exercise can also come in the form of indoor activities, such as sneaking around, chasing a rolled ball on the floor, or learning new tricks. Some outdoor activities such as swimming, hiking, or recovering balls or flying discs can provide a good outlet for spending energy. If you live in an apartment, even a short walk in the hallway can give your dog some exercise, especially during inclement weather. Training for dog sports such as agility, obedience and rally can also be a great way to give your dog exercise.
Jagdterrier should perform well on high quality dog food, whether it is commercially manufactured or prepared with the supervision and approval of your veterinarian. Any diet should be appropriate for the age of the dog (puppy, adult or senior). Some dogs are at risk of being overweight, so watch your dog’s calorie consumption and weight level. Treatment training can be an important aid, but giving too much can lead to obesity. Know which human foods are safe for dogs, and which are not. If you have any concerns about your dog’s weight or diet, check with your vet. Clean, fresh water must be available at all times.
Most of the Jagdterrier have healthy dogs. Those working with a responsible breeder who owns a jagirdar can receive the education they need to know about specific health concerns within the breed. Good breeders use genetic testing of their breeding stock to reduce the likelihood of disease in their puppies.
