FAQ

 
 

Where are you located?

We are located in Elizabeth Colorado which is about an hour southeast of Denver.

Coat length/texture

Coat length and texture (ie. smooth, broken, rough) can not be guaranteed based on the sire and dam. We have produced every coat type imaginable with our breedings.
 

How big do Jagdterriers geT?

Breed standard is 13-16 inches at the shoulder and 16-22 pounds. All of our breeding pairs fall into these standards.
 

TEMPERAMENT/How are these dogs with people?

The Jagdterrier is fiercely loyal to their human family. They bond strongly to people and show love and affection. Of course they give what they get, if humanized and cared for they are your best friend. Any dog that is left in a kennel and ignored will have behavior issues. This breed responds to strong leadership and training, they almost can’t get enough work and exercise.

How are these dogs with other animals?

Make no mistake that a Jagdterrier can be animal aggressive, this is what they are bred to do. However, all of our Jagds are perfectly okay inside with our house cats. Outside cats are another story, anything like free roaming chickens are toast around a Jagd. These are NOT farm dogs, they are prey intensive hunting terriers. Some Jagds can be extremely dog aggressive others are fine, it really depends on the personality of your individual dog. Generally speaking I would not leave a jagdterrier inside with other dogs or cats unattended.

What is PLL?

PLL (primary lens luxation) is a genetic ocular disorder that can affect all terrier breeds. Up to 40% of all terriers are carriers for this genetic disease. A carrier has one copy of the mutated gene. If affected with PLL, meaning the dog has two copies of the mutated gene, the dog will go blind by the time they are 8 years old.

When breeding, the PLL status of the sire and dam must be taken into account to produce non-affected offspring.

We have no affected dogs in our kennel. All puppies will be genetically tested to determine if they are a carrier of the mutated gene or not. This information will be given to you about your specific puppy.
