I was watching a buffalo hunt and noticed a little black and brown terrier blood trailing. I researched it and found he was a Jagd terrier. They are also used to hunt burrowing animals and as flushing retrievers for pheasants. Does anyone have experience with them?

Have had Jagd terriers for over 15 years now. We hunt big game like bears and lions with them. They run along with our hounds. Certain lines of them are good at treeing and trailing, others are more for underground work.

I have seen Jagdterrier at work in Germany on driven hunts. They are very serious hunting dogs, in my mind the last of the true small game hard terriers. They will latch on to wild hogs, kill predators but are quite trainable. They will search up and retrieve game, land and water. Good blood trackers as mentioned.

One of the famers that hunts / shoots with us has two Deutsche Jagd Terriers. Serious small dogs with big attitudes. Will run all day, born to hunt, pigs, deer, badger, fox, pheasant you name it and they will hunt it! Very popular in Europe.

I had one. Good dog but reverse was broken, which led to his untimely end. Crossed him over a Jack Russell female and produced some of the best working terriers I’ve ever had.

As someone said, very serious dogs. Have seen them in action of wild hogs in Germany. More often than not, the hat gets passed to pay for the vet bills. They have little sense of self preservation. Not a dog for everyone and will probably not be chummy with your next door neighbors pets.
