![Jagdterriers are adept at working as “Bay Dogs” against wild boar. The object is to stop and hold the quarry and bay loudly to alert the hunter. Dogs are discouraged from any direct contact with the boar. Hog Bays to simulate this are held in several states and many breeds participate.

The Jagdterrier, also known as the Deutscher Jagdterrier, is a courageous, resilient, vital, full-tempered, dependable, friendly, and trainable dog breed. He constantly enjoys doing his work. The Jagdterrier is a versatile hunting dog from Germany. Jagdterrier literally translates to “hunt terrier” in German. The breed is relatively small, compact, and well-proportioned, making him particularly well-suited for hunting below the ground and as a flushing dog. His thick, hard, rough, smooth, and course coat is often black and tan, although it can also be dark brown or grayish-black. His eyebrows, muzzle, chest, legs, and tail base all have tan patterns. Additionally, he can have very minor white markings on his toes and chest.
The Jagdterrier was initially developed in Germany with the goal of creating a breed of specialized hunting dogs. This happened soon after World War I. Three hunters, Rudolf Frieb, Carl Erich Grunewald, and Walter Zangenberg, led the initiative, and the German Hunting Terrier Club was formally established in 1926. The Jagdterrier was later imported into America, where hunters appreciated the breed. The Jagdterrier is currently recognized by the American Kennel Club as a part of the Foundation Stock Service class.
