the Airedale Terrier - King of Terriers
October 31, 2009
What a great dog - the Airedale Terrier, traditionally called the’King of Terriers’, is a medium-sized dog that weighs 45 to 65 lbs and grows to lengths of 24 inches. They’re the biggest of the terrier breeds, and they’re as energetic and alert as their smaller relations.

Airedale Terriers mostly have tan heads, ears, chests, undersides, and legs. Their sides and saddles are black. A few Airedale Terriers have a little bit of red jumbled together with their white or black chest markings. Due to the consistency of their coats, Airedale Terriers will need regular grooming.
This type of dog is very active, and will want to play and be exercised on an everyday basis. Anyhow it is preferable if the terrier is brought to a family with older and well-behaved youngsters. A house with smaller pets,eg pussies or mice, should doubtless avoid getting an Airedale Terrier, since terriers are susceptible to chase small living things and the like. They can live next to other dogs, as long as they are trained from puppyhood. Coaching itself is not a problem. These terriers are playful and keen to learn, as well as dependable and protective of their family.

The dog first appeared in Britain, sometime in the 18th century. It was crossbred from a Waterside Terrier and an Otterhound. They were originally used to seek little game, and then progressed to big-game hunting and police work. Though the breed has been mostly’retired’ from such heavy work, they keep their stamina and tenacity, and remain good trackers and hunters.
Homes that love to spend time outdoors are perfect for the Airedale Terrier. It can live with other pets, or be fine on its own. With its seemingly boundless energy, it’s only an issue of finding a family that may keep abreast of this great dog.
