Description |
Physically, individuals should
exhibit a square (though not broad) build, standing squarely and true over the
feet. A deep and narrow chest allows the dog to more easily enter dens, and is
preferred, while an excessively wide chest lessens this ability. Leg length is
in proportion to the rest of the body, avoiding both stubbiness or legginess.
The tail is set fairly high and straight, and is gaily carried. The tail
posture, while the dog is working, will be wayward and is not important. Though
cropped, the remaining tail must be long enough to serve as a handle, should the
hunter need to pull the terrier from a den. The coat may be either harsh or
smooth, the important factor for coats of working terriers being that the coat
must be thick and ample for turning briars and fangs. All deviations from the
standard that would affect the working ability of an earth dog are penalized in
direct relation to their deviation. Scars, the result of honorable wounds, are
not considered faults and are not to be penalized. |

affable with its master an hunters. Considering its determination to work,
combustible energy, the breed should not be sold strictly as a pet, though they
are totally people friendly. The German Hunt Terrier is

unafraid of the most formidable wild and very intent in the pursuit of such
game. Dash, gameness and pluck are all descriptive of a properly bred German
Hunt Terrier. The German Hunt Terrier, breds
hunters over its existence, has maintained the fearless characteristics of early
day den terriers. |

| Origin |
The German Hunt Terrier (German
Jagdterrier, Deutscher Jagdterrier, Jagdterrier) is a comparatively young breed,
having been developed only since the turn of the 20th century. The breed was
developed in Germany as a functional hunting dog, and is used there on a wide
variety of game, including wild boar, badger, fox and weasel. Imports into the
United States and Canada have also been used by sportsmen as tree dogs,
primarily for raccoon and squirrel. |
