#4 As a real hard worker who is not accustomed to lying on the couch and posing in front of the camera, the jagd terrier cannot boast of either a stylish satin “fur coat” or a special affectionate appearance.
However, he does not need this, since the overwhelming majority of breed owners are practical people who require professional skills and an exciting hunting show from the pet, but are absolutely indifferent to the exterior of the ward. Accordingly, the correct German Jagdterrier is first a hardy and strong earner, and only then - a friend, companion, and everything else.
The standard growth of the Jagdterrier ranges from 33-40 cm, and these figures apply equally to both females and males. But the weight categories for dogs of different sexes are different. Jagdterrier girls weigh from 7.5 to 8.5 kg, while males are able to build more bulk muscle mass, keeping the weight in the range from 9 to 10 kg.
#5 It is important to understand that the German Jagdterrier does not exist outside of hunting, so buying a dog for yourself, children or “on the sofa” and expecting aristocratic manners from it is not the most logical thing to do.
However, even the one who regularly travels to the forest and works on the beast of the Jagdterrier is still obstinate. So say goodbye to the dream of fashioning an obedient "deliveryman" of slippers out of a pet - this breed loves to cooperate, but not to serve and fawn.
#6 It is believed that professional training and early education can muffle the aggression and stubbornness of German jagdterriers, but there are also nuances here.
Yes, a dog can be weaned from the habit of attacking strangers, but even an experienced cynologist will not be able to make him fall in love with a cat or other pet furry. The berries also attack small wild animals. For example, in rural areas, hedgehogs become one of the main victims of the breed. Neither needles nor the injuries they inflict stop the black-and-tan "gladiators" - reprisals against a prickly enemy are carried out immediately and to the bitter end.
