Jagdterrier Club of America
Welcome To The Jagdterrier Club of America!

Founded in 1956 - Re-Established 2009

The Jagdterrier Club of America was first founded in 1956, like any new forming club, the promotion and popularity of the breed was rather slow but wasn't to long before the JTCOA (The Jagdterrier Club of America) and it's membership had grew big enough to produce it's own breed stud book 1950-1963, with registered and imported dogs such as Freia von der Walkmuhle, Armin Schwarz senior imported and registered "Axel vom Elsterbusch", Max Thiel senior imported and registered "Jago Wilde Jagd" etc... these were just a few of the jagdterriers that were responsible for the early founding of the breed in the USA.

The club remained strong and quite active for a number of years but started to loose it's strength in the 70's until the club was virtually none existent. A group of enthusiasts did get together in the 80's and tried to promote and reestablish the club but like any new forming club, it did not come without the typical member, agree and disagree syndrome of which were testing times and struggled to really get off the ground again. Between the late 80's until 2009 there had also been a number of individual enthusiasts from many different states who had also tried to form a breed club but to no avail..

In 2009, Mr.R.E.Delaney, an English born Irish immigrant to the USA and avid enthusiast of quality show and hunt terriers for 40+ years decided to pick up and promote the breed, believing that any dog as versatile and courageous as the Jagdterrier should not be an out of sight out of mind breed, or fall the victim because of breeder disputes, regardless every breed needs and relies on it's members to promote and educate the public and hunters etc... in 2009 Ray Delaney decided to form the JTCOA - Jagdterrier Club of America with the belief that regardless of membership, the breed will always have a club site to promote and educate.
