Research before you do. I don't know much about the U.S. lines, but the real deal German lines are mostly half feral. Mostly pen to carry case, to hunt, to carry case to kennel. I wouldn't consider them an inside dog or good with kids. High energy, aggressive and half wild. When I think of Jagt terrier I picture a Tasmanian Devil. They are good hunters, really strong prey drive, fearless and aggressive.

I was thinking of getting one and decided to get a Plummer terrier, most of the good traits of a Jagt Terrier, but a bit easier to control. Most of the working Terriers are wound kind of tight. and can be a handfull.
