Watch out for spine and rear leg problems in the bloodline of whomever you get to breed. It is a major problem with the breed even in Germany.So God knows with puppy farming of exotics here what you might be getting.

Bitter experience with Teckels[Bavarian for a Dachshund].We used to run them a lot in Germany for hunting but lost too many to that lameness..Flights of stairs FWIW are utter poison to them.The long spine and the short paws are not designed for stairs at all, and will cause major damage eventually.
We switched to German Jagd terriers,and never looked back:)

Jagh terriers just looked them up there now interesting looks more atletic and not to big.
Another rare beast in ireland.
But you know what he look alot more useable than the teckel. Good tip there thank you Grizz

Jagd Terrier is a good all-rounder, not the best for retrieving birds, but good for deer and excellent for boar[if we have any].They are natural barkers so if you train them easily to be Todtverbeller [death barkers]as the HCAP manual describes them to find downed big game no problem...Just follow their non-stop barking to find your deer or boar.:)

My mate had a jagd about 15 years ago. Had video's of him retrieving pheasant, duck and even fish. Good digging dog too.
