German term (edited):
der Fang
Selected
the mouth
If this is referring to retrieving dogs, then soft mouth is the term. See Wikipedia "Retriever"
"Soft-mouth: A soft-mouthed dog is needed to ensure that retrieved game is fit for the table. A soft mouthed dog will pick up and hold game softly but firmly on the retrieve. Dogs that unnecessarily drop birds, crunch on, chew or even eat the bird before delivery to the handler are considered “hard-mouthed” or are described as having “mouth problems”. While training can overcome most “mouth problems” a dog with an inherently soft-mouth is more desirable when starting the training process."
