About the Jagdterrier

The Jagdterrier is not a dog for the casual owner, and that is exactly what its devoted fans love about it. Developed in Germany in the 1920s by hunters who wanted a fearless, relentless working terrier, the Jagdterrier was built from the ground up to do a job and do it without compromise. This small but formidable dog will pursue quarry above ground and into underground burrows with a drive that puts many larger breeds to shame. German breed standards have always prioritized function over looks, and it shows in every confident stride this dog takes. Jagdterrier owners tend to be serious hunters and experienced handlers who appreciate a dog that means business. They are not looking for a lap dog, and the Jagdterrier is certainly not offering to be one. What it offers instead is complete dedication, remarkable courage, and working ability that has earned deep respect across European hunting traditions. Our gifts and apparel are made for the people who truly get this breed and want to celebrate what makes it one of a kind.
