The Jagdterrier is a versatile hunting dog from Germany. In German, jagdterrier literally means “hunt terrier.” He is particularly suited to hunting under the ground and as a flushing dog and is relatively small, compact, and well-proportioned. His dense coat, either hard and rough or course and smooth, is usually black and tan, but can be dark brown or grayish-black as well. The tan markings are on his eyebrows, muzzle, chest, legs, and at the base of his tail. He could also have small white markings on his chest and toes. Also known as the Deutscher Jagdterrier, the Jagdterrier is courageous, enduring, vital, full of temperament, reliable, sociable and trainable. He always takes pleasure in his work.
