______________________

Jagdterriers were developed to be all round hunting dogs. Though often used for quarry that dens underground, especially badger, fox, and raccoon dog, Jagdterriers are also used to drive wild boar and rabbits out of thickets, and to blood track wounded animals, such as deer. Due to their intelligence and adaptability, Jagdterriers can make good pets, but it should be remembered that they are primarily a hunting dog with a strong prey drive.
...
The Jadgterrier did not become popular in the U.S. for several reasons, not the least of which was that in the U.S. very few people hunt fox to ground. In recent years, with the rise of interest in terrier work in the U.S., new lines of Jagdterriers have been imported to the U.S., but most are used for above-ground or barn work due to their size. For a Jadgterrier to do well working underground in the U.S., it has to be at the absolutely smallest end of the breed standard or even undersized.

Many of the newer/later imports to the USA are within the true FCI breed standard(correct size)and are being used successfully both above and below ground with many reports of their offspring making exceptional hunting, flush and retrieval dogs both on land and in water. Today there are many hunters across the USA adopting this courageous, intelligent breed as a hunt companion because of its versatility in various hunt disciplines and aim to please attitude.

Sure are, but not the breed for everyone. The drive and intensity is insane and if there isn't an outlet for it, bad things can happen. If trouble doesn't come to a jagd, a jagd will go looking for it. I know of GSPs killed by a jagd, and other dogs with their faces and ears rearranged by them. Hardly a day goes by that our jagd doesn't leave some kind of furry body part or other on the back porch. She's killed boar coons and big fat groundhogs.

But then, our jagd is great with the setters and loves people, especially kids. She's smart and figures out a new trick to make me laugh every day; I've awakened to my little dog standing on top of the refrigerator :o She's loyal and very affectionate.

Watch some youtube videos before you make up your mind that you want a jagd.

A lot of people think they've been around a high drive dog or can handle one. IMP The only comparison to the drive and lack of self preservation of a good jagd is a true game bred pit bull or high drive working Malinois.

I haven't seen one, but by their descriptions they almost sound like Jack Russel Terriers on Roids and Meth.
