The German Jagdterrier (Pronounced “Yack-terrier”) was developed over eighty years ago in Germany by crossing the original old English Fox Terrier and the Black and Tan Hunting Terrier. These crossings, with years of selective, intensive, breeding, have produced the modern German Jagdterrier, a dog bred and used exclusively for hunting. The Jagdterrier today is known to be one of the most versatile hunting terriers in the world.
The AHTA evaluates the Jagdterrier according to FCI-Standard N° 103 for the Deutscher Jagdterrier published 5/26/2015.
