German Hunting Terrier History

While many dog breeds have been around for a large number of years, the German Hunt Terrier was in fact only made around 1900. The breed’s progress was to produce a very functional dog who would be an ideal companion for hunters and who might be used to track reducing boars, badgers, and weasels. In more latest years, the breed has crossed the Atlantic and has been used by North American hunters for cornering squirrels and raccoons.



German Hunting Terrier Description

Physically, individuals should exhibit a rectangular (though not broad) build, standing squarely and true more than the feet. All deviations from the usual that would affect the working ability of an earth dog are penalized in direct relation to their deviation. Scars, the result of honorable wounds, are not considered faults and are not to be penalized.The coat may be either harsh or smooth, the very important factor for coats of working terriers being that the coat must be thick and ample for turning briars and fangs.The tail is set fairly high and straight, and is also gaily carried. The tail posture, while the dog is working, will be wayward and is also not important. though cropped, the remaining tail must be long enough to serve like a handle, should the hunter need to pull the terrier from a den.Leg length is in proportion to the sleep of the body, keeping away from both stubbiness or legginess.A deep and narrow chest allows the dog to more easily enter dens, and is also preferred, while an excessively wide chest lessens this ability.
