The Jagdterrier is a
terrier
breed of
dogs for hunting. It
probably originated in
Germany.
Jagdterriers are relatively small, but they are extremely strong dogs with much
endurance and vitality.

This breed is black, with brown markings that resemble that of the
Dobermann.
The German breed standard calls for the breed to stand 33 to 40 cm (13 to 15.7
in) at the withers. It specifies that bitches should weigh from 7.5 to 8.5 kg
(16.5 to 18.7 lb), and males from 9 to 10 kg (19.8 to 22 lb).
The coat can be either wiry or smooth. The tail is normally (but not always)
cropped at
2/3 the natural length.
