For everyone who wants to live their passion, expand their knowledge, and get optimally equipped for the new hunting year.

Dortmund, 12.01.2026 – Good planning means more experiences. Visitors to the JAGD & HUND website can find everything they need to plan their personal route through the trade fair in advance. The list of exhibitors is a key feature: hunting, outdoor, and dog enthusiasts can already discover which leading international companies will be presenting their latest products, innovations, and technologies. The range covers all aspects of modern hunting – from firearms and optics to hunting stands, cold rooms, and hunting-suitable vehicles, as well as clothing, accessories, and dog supplies.

Those who book a “JAGD & HUND Masterclass powered by Geartester Academy” (held in German language) in advance will also gain a knowledge advantage for the new hunting year. These can be booked in advance and offer in-depth training at the highest level. In the adjacent convention center, experienced experts provide practical insights – for example, on shooting techniques, the use of drones in hunting, weapon safety, hunting photography, and first aid for dogs. Tickets for all masterclasses are still available online – ideal for visitors who want to invest specifically in their skills.

The trade fair program can also be conveniently browsed online in advance – with a new filter function – helping you to ensure you don’t miss a single item on the agenda. Whether it’s expert keynotes on the stages in all halls, exciting competitions such as the German Deer Calling Championship or the Calling Contest, or the popular breed presentations by the Working Gundog Association – the program overview provides valuable guidance and makes it easy to plan your individual day.

JAGD & HUND is a real one-stop shop for its visitors: This is where you can shop, try things out, learn, and discuss. Special themed areas such as the KNIFE ZONE, dedicated to the perfect hunting knife, the HORRIDO social media zone, and the “Jagdwelt” with a concentrated shopping experience covering around 3,000 square meters ensure short distances and clear themed worlds – ideal for anyone looking for something specific or wanting to be inspired.

At the same time, the trade fair is a place for exchange and encounters. JAGD & HUND has developed into a central forum for dialogue within the hunting community. Leading national and international associations such as the North Rhine-Westphalia State Hunting Association, the German Hunting Association, the International Council for Game and Wildlife Conservation (CIC), and the European Federation for Hunting and Conservation (FACE) meet in Dortmund to discuss current developments and challenges in hunting. This gives visitors a unique opportunity to get to know the associations and be part of this exchange.
