​The Plan

1

Early Linebreeding to Preserve Type

Promising young dogs from the first generation will be used in carefully planned line breedings.

4

Duvadirto Jojo

Initial Litters to Proven Females

The first five litters are already on the ground out of proven hunting dogs

Use of Frozen Breeding Resources

There is currently enough frozen breeding material from Duvadirto Jojo for seven future litters 

Further Crosses to Proven Working Dogs According to Purpose

We hope that there will be cooperation between owners of Jojo puppies to advance this effort

The Project

This is an informational website dedicated to a canine genetics experiment called The Jojo Project. It details the story of a great German Jagdterrier named Duvadirto Jojo and of the effort to preserve his genetics through a cooperative breeding enterprise of dedicated Jagdterrier hunters and breeders in the United States.

The Dog

The Duvadirto line of German Jagdterriers ended when the great Hungarian dog breeder, Ferenc Kulcsar, died tragically in a motorcycle accident. However, he left behind Duvadirto Jojo, which was probably his greatest achievement in dog breeding. After a successful competition, hunting, and breeding career in Europe, Jojo was imported at the age of eight to the United States from Rafal Idzak of Poland by Jay Wohleb of Lamarque, Texas. After a time in Texas, Kansas, and Michigan where he was hunted and evaluated, Duvadirto Jojo came to Somerset, Kentucky, to Mr. James Mills of "The Cumberland Pack" German Jadgterrier kennel where The Jojo Project began.  Mr. Mills has been in charge of formulating and implementing the details of The Jojo Project under the direction and counsel of Mr. Wohleb. Other key figures in this endeavor are David Hafner of Garnett, Kansas, and Brian Morgan of Dallas, Texas.
