Zwinger und Feld: illustrierte Wochenschrift für Hundesport und Jagd ; offizielles Organ der Delegierten-Commission und ihrer Vereine sowie des Süddeutschen Verbandes Kynologischer Vereine, Sitz Stuttgart

Zwinger und Feld emerged during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, a period characterized by the formalization of dog breeding standards and organized canine sports across the German-speaking world. As the official organ for the Delegierten-Commission and the South German Association of Cynological Clubs, this weekly publication served as the primary communication medium for breed registries, trial results, and administrative updates for hunting and sport dogs.

The publication reflected the era's technical approach to breeding and field utility. Through its illustrated reports, it catered to an audience of breeders and sportsmen who prioritized pedigree, performance standards, and the growing professionalization of the kynological community. By serving as a bridge between central regulatory bodies and regional clubs, the journal played a vital role in documenting the development of specific German hunting breeds before the disruptions of the mid-20th century.
