History
Descended from English terriers, the German Hunt Terrier was selectively bred in Germany in the nineteenth century. The breed is thought to be the result of crosses between the Fox Terrier, the Welsh Terrier and the Old English Terrier. It is possible that dachshund and pinscher blood was also introduced. This remarkable hunter is considered to be one of the best terriers (unearthing fox and badger). He also hunts boar and hare in small packs, retrieves small land or water game, and is an excellent scenthound.
Description
This lively, cantankerous, fearless, courageous "killer" has a difficult personality. Suspicious of strangers, he is a vigilant guard dog. The German Hunt Terrier is aggressive towards other dogs. Though he can be affectionate with his owners, the German Hunt Terrier is one of the few terriers that is not suitable as a pet. Very firm training is required. This dog will obey only his owner.
Advice
This is not a house dog. If he lives indoors, he will become excessively nervous. This breed requires regular outings. Brushing once per week is required.
