Jagdterriers typically weigh between 13 to 24 pounds (6 to 11 kg) and stand about 13 to 16 inches (33 to 41 cm) tall at the shoulder. Their size can vary slightly depending on gender, with males generally being larger than females.

Jagdterriers are known for their lively and confident temperament. They are highly intelligent, alert, and energetic dogs that tend to be independent. While they are affectionate with their families, they can be reserved around strangers. Early socialization and training are essential to help them channel their energy and intelligence positively.

Jagdterriers have a dense, harsh coat that is water-resistant. Their coat can be either smooth or broken (rough) and comes in various colors, including black, brown, and combinations of these with tan markings. Regular grooming is necessary to keep their coat healthy, particularly in maintaining the coat's texture.

Jagdterriers thrive in an active lifestyle and require plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. They do best in homes where they have space to run and play, and they are not suited for a sedentary lifestyle. A secure yard is ideal, and they can adapt to living in rural or suburban environments.

Jagdterriers are energetic dogs that enjoy a range of activities, including:

• Hiking and Running: They love being outdoors and require regular exercise.
• Agility and Obedience Training: These activities harness their intelligence and energy.
• Hunting and Tracking: Given their history, they may have a strong instinct for hunting and can excel in tracking games.
• Interactive Play: Games that challenge their agility and problem-solving abilities, such as fetch or tug-of-war, are great for keeping them engaged.
