A Potsdam Jägerhof (I know they were ubiquitous), separate from the Berlin one?

Definitely, yes. There's a Jägertor and a Jägerallee to the north of the city, which is also where the Jägerhof used to be. Manger talks about it a couple of times, see the compilation here; he even mentions the dogs in 1765.

I had found the Jägertor being erected in 1733, but wasn't sure it went with a Jägerhof. Thank you!
