About Dogs-The Airedale Terrier

The Airedale is also known as the King of Terriers: they are the largest of all the terrier breeds and encompasses many of the qualities of this group of dogs. He is a native of Great Britain, from the county of Yorkshire, and it is reputed that the Airedale Show gave the breed of dog its name. Lots of ‘Waterside Terriers’ coming from the valleys of the rivers Wharfe, Calder and Aire were shown at the show, making up a considerable entry.


The Airedale
boasts outstanding scenting abilities and has been utilised in The african continent, India and Canada for the purpose of tracking. They have also aided the Red Cross during times of conflict and has seen service with police and in the armed forces of both Britain as well as Russia.

He is an outstanding pet dog, particularly good with youngsters and constantly wanting to participate in their activities. Not aggressive by nature but protective of his family members, they are a devoted companion, ready for a walk without notice or even a journey in the car. Their double coat is water resistant and a regular brush and comb will keep him looking good.

 Having said that, he will shed his fur twice yearly, and so on these occasions it is advisable to have him expertly stripped. Provided they have daily exercising they are a great choice for both town or country living.
