Airedale Terrier - The King of the Terriers
The Airedale Terrier is a medium 45 to 65 pound dog that usually
reaches between 22" and 24". Known as the King of the Terriers,
they are largest of the Terrier breeds recognized by the AKC. It
is a compact little powerhouse that is all terrier when it comes
to chasing little animals or appeasing its curiosity.
Airedale Terriers are typically tan on the ears, head, chest,
undersides, legs, and sometimes on the shoulders. They are black
or grizzle on the sides and upper parts of the body. Sometimes
they have a red mixture on the black or white markings on the
chest. Certain strains of the breed also have a small white
patch on the chest. Their wiry, dense outer coat requires
regular grooming.
If you are looking for a dog with plenty of stamina and energy,
look no further. The Airedale Terrier is full of energy and
needs daily exercise and play. Generally speaking, they do best
with older well behaved children and are not ideal for homes
with smaller pets as terriers have the tendency to chase small
animals and vermin. They can do well with other dogs, especially
if they are socialized from
puppyhood. They are loyal and
protective if their family. They love to learn and can be
trained easily provided training is fun and not monotonous.
The breed dates itself back to 18th century England. The breed
is a cross between an Otterhound and a Waterside Terrier. They
were bred for hunting small game and were later used in big game
hunting, police work and as an army dog in WWII. The Airedale
Terrier is now considered more of a family pet than working dog.
However, they do love to work and have tasks to do and still
make good hunting and tracking dogs For a family that enjoys
outdoors and exercise, the Airedale Terrier is an excellent
choice. Although they can work with other pets and dogs, a one
pet household seems more ideal for their needs unless they grow
up with other family pets. The Airedale Terrier is a great pet
for the family on the go.
