    I say they are a pain in the ass.

    You obviously have a computer Big Bill so why ask advice on this breed of terrier here rather than look up the massive amount of data that already exists ? I think we all know about the German Hunt Terrier. Product of the insane thinking in Germany in 1930's to claim everything that is strong and good as German and that the working terrier as an ancient Germanic type of dog rather than a relatively modern English type of dog. So they imported terriers white Fox terriers from England and with the use of an unlimited budget isolated the black and tan gene that the Fox Terrier still carried (

    As Griz wrote; "high energy hunters" and tuff as nails! Always be consistent, keep them calm indoors, lots of exercise and make sure they know who is in charge. Lots of obedience training before you start hunting with them makes life a lot easier. They mature very early, are quick learners, and tend to forget... Don't worry about the hunting, they will hunt, under and above. Some are a bit too game, and tend to spend as much time recovering as working, especially with badgers... But they are wonderfull critters! Never a dull moment! If you are wondering about anything I'd be glad to

    The easiest way to find out about the lines is to contact the German Hunting Terrier Club of the country you want to import from. Approved dogs are mostly registered by them, and you can follow the lines way back.

    I can see your point jawn, if you reach all the good points, but don't have the knowledge to judge it. But I wonder, aren't there allready drahthaars that push out a bit further? And I'm sure there are pretty tough drahts out there. But I'm not too shure anyone ever wanted them. Not untill now... On the other hand, its not very difficult to find GHT's that are high, too high according to the standard, with very good noses... But I must admit, it doesn't sound as fun...

    I'd like to see those dogs, but rather not bring them cuties up... I'm confident there will be plenty of grit!

    I found Dasty vom Reussenberg, but not the other ones. Maybe they haven't been registered here in Sweden. You can search for all registered dogs at: http://kennet.skk.se...a/Hund_sok.aspx My Ozzy's offical name is ''Gamekeeper's Samuraj", Regnr: SE21332/2010

    Not worried that a Drahthaar with Jagd mentality might be a bit too much...?

    "Mefisto", my dogs Grandfather, is after "Astor vom Asstraata" and "Beba"... :-)

    I like them tough, but not "A day in the woods, three weeks recovering" - kind of tough... Some say that the sharpest ones are to be found in eastern Europe. Is that where you get most of yours, or are there good lines in the States too? Here in Sweden it seems many lines are loosing their sharpnes. Or at least thats how the discussion goes. More restrictions on hunting thats comming up won't make things easier for those trying to keep up the sharpnes... On the other hand I guess our dogs are at least as good when it comes to tracking and following. So again, it's probably more a matter of

    I'm happy with my "Ozzy". He's not the sharpest of GJT's, but thats fine with me. The up side is that he will hopefully allways come back in one piece and not cost me a fortune in vet bills. But, as GJT's go, "not the sharpest" does not mean that he will back of...

    Mine has "Beba" and "Mefisto" from Tribiani in his lines. Beba was imported from Serbia.

    They don't have to be caged all the time... On the other side, mine will not let just anyone take his prey away from him...

    I totally agree, couldn't had put it any better my self! I keep mine in the apartment and he's fine as long as he doesn't get bored. But even then he's OK, but maybe a bit anoying...

    Not really any point in crossing them with other breeds. Better to choose from lines that suits the kind of hunting you do. There are lines that are better suited for hunting above ground if thats what you are looking for (wild boar, roe, deer, fox...) I use mine mostly for hunting roe, and he is usually back after 45-60 minutes, if he has good contact with the roe. If he gets too far behind he lets go and comes back quicker. No boring waiting for the dog... Haven't had a chanse to try him on wild boar yet, but that would be really interresting!

    I wouldn't call them "horrible pets". They're actually quite OK as pets, as long as they get exercised regularly and activated. Othervise they get restless, some even a bit anoying I've heard... =) During the hunting season, when I usually hunt once or twice a week, he is like most dogs, lying around, just keeping an eye on us and what we are up to. He is also often with me at work and when indoors he's mostly running loose and there is never any problem with strangers coming and leaving. He's also fine with most dogs, but prefers to play with bigger breeds.The bigger the better. Outd

    I'm quite confident that swedish and german hunters on an average are not worse than any other nationality at shooting. But we do have stringent laws on hunting and wild life. I don't know about other countries but here in Sweden the law states that we must be able to a have a dog trained for tracking in place not more than two hours after an animal has gone missing after being shot at. We also have to do everything we can to make sure an animal has not been wounded and is suffering after being shoot at and cannot be found. The police also often contact hunters to trail wounded animals (mostly
