Jagds are supposed to be either open on scent (spurlaut) or sight (sichlaut). A totally silent dog would be considered a cull by the parent club. As would a babble mouthed dog. Spurlaut in Germany is only tested on European brown hares... so completely useless to us. Seems like range is variable. Dog agrression in jagds (my opinion only) should be culled. There really isn't a very worthwhile registry in the US. And it seems like Euro registries and folks that are in to that care more about testing than they do about hunting. So I wouldn't really care about registration as long as the dog comes from good proven stock. When you are loking for a jagd, keep in mind what they were originally bred for. They weren't bred to specialty hunters. They are supposed to hunt swine, varmints, waterfowl, and burrowing predators somewhat proficiently... but nothing exraordinarily. So someone that wants a pure Earth dog may be put off by how big they are. Someone that only hunts pigs might be let down by how small they are. Duck hunters would get upset by how anxious and energetic they are in a blind. See what I'm saying? Plus, these are wickedly hardheaded dogs. Very energetic and high strung. They need stimulation and exercise on a regular basis. If you aren't ready for that you will have a bad experience with jagdterriers. Any good terrier really. For all their shortcomings, I love the little SOBs. They can get by through sheer drive and tenacity.
