- DOGS 101 - AIRDALE TERRIER
The Airedale Terrier gets its name from the Aire River valley, or dale, in Yorkshire where it was first bred. It was developed by crossing the Welsh terrier with the Otterhound in the mid-19th century to hunt otters and other rodents. Hounds and terriers were the dogs of choice on hunting trips in those days in England. Hounds would smell and pursue the animals, while terriers would burrow into the holes and make the final kill. Demand arose for a dog that combined the best of both the breeds, and the Airedale was born. Its talents at hunting are reflected in its strength, cleverness and boldness. It is also known as Bingley Terrier or Waterside Terrier, the latter because of its strong hunting skills across water bodies.
The first import to North America was in the 1880s, and the American Kennel Club officially recognized the breed in 1888. Apart from hunting small animals, it has also been used on hunts for larger game and as police dogs, war dogs and family guardians. It played a particularly important role during World War I, carrying messages to soldiers behind enemy lines and finding injured soldiers. However, its popularity has declined in the following years.
A male can measure up to 23 inches and weigh anything from 50 to 70 pounds, with the female a little smaller. It has a coat of dense, harsh hair, with a softer and shorter undercoat. The standard coloring is tan with a black or drizzle saddle. The back is straight, and the tail fluffy, long and erect.
Grooming: It has a wiry coat, which requires regular brushing several times a week to keep it free of mats and to prevent shedding. The coat is supposed to be kept relatively short, which requires clipping or hand stripping every few months. Stripping is sometimes preferable as it can remove dead hair roots, which can otherwise cause skin irritations. Nails require regular trimming. Ears need regular checking for wax build-up. And, of course, teeth need to be brushed regularly. So, the Airedale is a high-maintenance breed - it is important you know this before you decide on getting one home!
Training: An Airedale is a quick learner and can be trained very easily. But, it also gets bored quickly, and requires regular mental and physical stimulation. A long walk, a chance to romp through a safe area or a physically tiring game should be good enough for this. A bored Airedale is known to fill up a yard with holes in one evening - the poor thing is just living up to its hunter genes!
Temperament: It makes for an excellent member in a family that has kids. It is aggressive by nature, so if it is needed to interact well with other pets and suppress its hunting instincts, it is advisable to raise it from early years with smaller animals like cats and rabbits. It interacts better with larger animals, unless in a threatening situation.
Health: The lifespan of an Airedale is from 10 to 13 years, similar to other breeds of this size. It is a fairly sturdy breed, but some dogs are prone to eye infections, hip dysplasia and skin infections and need to be checked for these regularly. Hip Dysplasia, which is a genetic cause of arthritis, should be checked for in dogs that are being used for breeding. Skin infections can be discovered late in some dogs because of their dense coats.
If you are looking for a dignified, smart and courageous pet, whom you can give a good amount of time to, an Airedale is a very good choice for you and your family. Just remember that you need to be the alpha in the relationship - a weak owner does not work with an Airedale’s strong character.

They look like they are smiling all the time, i love it
That's the best thing :)
B. I am on my 5th Airedale; 1-female, 4-male. I am a dog lover, but would not have another breed.
Fabulous dogs: affectionate, wilful, playful, loyal. I had two for 13 years.
I love these dogs because there have so much personality!!
It's been fun writing about one :)

I wish my Airedale Terrier was still with me
There's a guy that breeds and sells them @sxssweet1
There are a lot of Airedale Rescues Nationwide
Aubrianna Werlinger He usually wants over $1,200 a puppy! In the Midwest of the USA, you can get a puppy from a really good Breeder & Registered with the AKC for $600 - $800.
@@MienemLeben true but I was just recommending it
I own one of these guys, he is the best dog ever! I get to see him for the first time since Christmas tomorrow :) if you are considering getting one of these guys go for it, they are packed with personality and you will love them for the rest of your life!
I had one but she died but they are really good dogs it's that mine was too adventurous so she escaped and got hit bye a car and we found her still alive but she died a couple days later, I was heart broken because I loved her and I had her since she was a puppy :(
SkMo Raptor sorry to hear about that :,( but i'm glad you got to experience the joy of owning an Airedale

One of the best or if not the best Terrier Dog Breeds! The Welsh Terriers are cute as well! They look like small Airedales!
I disagree. If you aren't extremely physically active they aren't well suited. In my opinion, don't get an Airedale unless you can also buy a treadmill and train them on it. They are such high energy dogs and the only good dog is a tired dog.
Ive had Airedales my entire life. Never have had to trim nails or brush teeth. They love to dig, has nothing to do with being "bored". They never run out of energy and wont really calm down until they are around 5yo. They can also go much bigger then was said in the video, we had a male when I was a kid who was pushing 90lbs, I had a female who use to scale 71lbs.
The Airedale was developed from the OTTERHOUND and THE OLD ENGLISH BLACK &TAN TERRIER, which is now extinct. NOT THE WELSH TERRIER, the Old English Black & Tan looks very much like the Welsh Terrier. That said, the Airedale is not AGGRESSIVE as stated in the clip above. I have had them since the early 1960's and have not come across an aggressive one yet.
No they are not aggressive. They will never start a fight but omg can they finish one.
It's like they know they can, so they don't have to.
An Airedale might look like he's playing with the kids, but he's actually guarding them. Guarding is a job they take seriously.
This is good to know as my trilogy #RudysRescueTrilogy stars an Airedale :)

I have an Airedale and her personality is amazing and she thinks she's a kid
XxHorse LoverxX same
XxHorse LoverxX mine died yesterday 😭
XxHorse LoverxX I was thinking of getting one should i
Im getting one tomorrow 😁
How's it been?
very fair and informative
With my 9 year old 6th Airedale. They are incredible dogs ❤❤❤❤
Rascal terriers might be a better name. I have two love them, our male who weighs about 65 pounds thinks he is a lap dog. They are NOT aggressive to humans or children but look out if you are a squirrel or a rabbit or a raccoon or a skunk 🙃 in my yard. They definitely have hunting instincts. My two work together without any training from a human and woe betide any small animal who ventures into our yard.
I have an Airedale terrier and his name is Tucker. He is adventurous but he is still a puppy. He only knows how to sit. I love him still😊
They are the best dogs! Dogs who think they are human really!

eehh easy to train? Dont get me wrong, I love the Airedale terrier. I have my 3rd one now for 2 years but non of my Airedales were easily trained.
hmmm, I've had 6 and all were easy to train when it comes to potty training. All mine were fully potty trained at 12 or 13 weeks. If you're talking obedience then no, they are not easy to train because they are independent thinkers and hunting dogs and lets face it a terrier. You're better off with a German Shepherd or Golden Retriever if you want a dog that's going to do your bidding
oxfords1 our Teddy never goes while on walks most times same place in the yard. Love him to bits after 3 standard Fox terriers it was a new learning curve for me he can be obstinate but a sucker for treats
We have had two and both were pretty easy to train. My wife tried training one to ring a door man's bell to go outside. Well she had no luck, but one day months after she gave up he rang the bell to go out.He was at the door and being ignored. From then on he'd ring the bell, sometimes frantically. We sure miss him, he was so smart and fun for our boys.
@@oxfords1 Potty training - yes, they are a breeze to train. Come when called? Well...do you have food? 😂
I have a Airedale as well! Her name is Maggie

B of course. . I read all the good books on Airedales before I got my first one. I'm not talking about those mass produced books about breeds, I'm talking about the books written long ago by people who owned them like Strebeigh, Barbara; McCready, Pauline I. (1977). Your Airedale Terrier. That is the best book you can get to get to know the breed. That lady was a committed Airedale owner who knew everything about them
It's a hansome breed
I tried taking the quiz on your website 3 times but the ads kept interrupting and made it impossible. You should look into fixing that if you would like to be taken seriously.

B : king of the terriers
It's been said they've brought down stags before (not that I agree with that) it just shows the "game" in the breed. I saw one last year that was as big as any German Shepard I've seen he was magnificent to see!

B! I'm looking for my 3rd Airedale. I'd like to adopt an adult, if I could.
Is that a spike collar at 1:59? ._.

My opinion is Airdales are the best breed but oddly they never state what I've encountered. Hell on cats! Not your cat but any other. Very very protective if alpha owner is gone. If the kids are playing outside and your inside no one is coming in your yard. If your outside they dont seem to mind. Lastly they are very protective of the alpha if you horseplay with your kids they will step in to protect you. Incredibly smart never seen any other dog come close. Closest I've seen have been mutts. But I've never been impressed with the well known smart breeds, goldens, poodles, boarder collies.
Do a Irish terrier please
Have you kept an Airedale? Their coats do not shed.
To brush an Airedale, first remove the brush from his mouth. Get him to stand then remove the brush from his mouth. This is not as easy as it sounds; if he bites down on the brush it will break. It's a game that takes practice.
The boys are about 1/3 larger than the ladies, and they're some 23-inches at the withers.
Interesting video, however, authorities concur that the Airedale Terrier's ancestry originated with not one mating but rather many cross breedings over a period of years. The breeding began with the now extinct Old English Black and Tan Terrier and the Otterhound followed by other breeds with various other breeds. The Airedale Terrier breed predates the Welsh Terrier which made its initial showing in the UK about three following the Airedale/Bingsley/Waterside Terrier. You published the AKC Airedale Terrier standard (and we are in the US) with a height of 23 inches for males. However, in the 1900s the American Standard followed the UK standard height for Airedales with a height range of 20 - 24 inches. The breed was promoted by many including Lt. CoI. E.H. Richardson in the UK and American breeders like Walter Lingo whose OOrang Airedales were quite large weighing in excess of 100 pounds (used for hunting large game). The breed was originally bred as a family farm working dog that could hunt fur or fowl. A great breed of dogs, but the Airedale is definitely not a breed for everybody.
I have 2 Airedale terriers
B, King of Terries
We are buying a new home. My husband wants to get a male and female puppy and raise them together. Thanks for the information.
They are lovely dogs you wont regret it!
Did you end up with an Airdale?
I have a grey hound arediale and german shepard mix
Is that an Alsastion
The answer is B
Guard dog, hunting dog and family dog, I LOVE MY AIREDALE TERRIER! Stoic, stubborn and hard-headed with tons of energy to spare (and contrary to the video maker's assesment), the Airedale can be hard to train, and personally, I wouldn't recommend it to a first time dog owner. But, with patience and the firm hand of an experienced trainer, I have never owned a finer and more intelligent best friend! Also, daily excercise and lots of personal tender-loving care is required...they love to play!
I've kept Airedales forever and find them easy to train - but not for a first-time dog owner. The thing with an Airedale is their super-high intelligence. They get bored. You cannot teach them just one trick at a time but half a dozen at once. They pick up behaviour from you, the Airedale is naturally calm and laid-back, so you need to be too. They do not suit everyone.
I think it is C
"...otters and other rodents." what?

Yup
There should be D all of the above as they all fit ask anyone who has one

I want one because we couldn’t get a golden retriever cause of my allergies
Not a good reason to get one. Please read up on them. They are high energy dogs, stubborn, independent who think for themselves. You need to be extremely patient and kind with them. Their sweet side is very sensitive and does not respond well to harshness.
@@oxfords1 it IS a good reason to get an Airedale Terrier. Although there is no such thing as a 100 percent hypoallergenic dog, it is a matter of degrees. Airedale Terriers are on the lower end of the scale so most people with allergies (myself included) do well with an Airedale. I am sure the OP will weigh the pros and cons.
@@davidhuber2076 You missed the point. He was going to get a golden retriever which is a very compliant easy to train breed but instead he'll get an Airedale Terrier because it doesn't shed. A golden retriever will sit by your side while an Airedale will bounce off the walls with energy. The reason it's not a good idea is because if you don't know anything about a Terrier and you're getting it just for that reason that's where people run into trouble. I've been owning Airedales for 25 plus years, they're stubborn, extremely energetic, and no matter how much you train them they will sometimes do what they're told but often times more than not they're going to do exactly what they want to do. Well you know what it's all about if you do own one. I suggest Cody finds people who own Airedales to see if the personality is going to fit. I've gotten some of my Airedales from Airedale rescue because people have gotten them without researching about their personality and how much it involves in keeping them entertained and groomed. I once had a couple wanting one and they did the right thing and came to my house to see them first hand. They were overwhelmed with the energy and decided the dog was not a good fit for them and Thank God for that because it could have ended badly by yet another Airedale in a rescue shelter. Yes good fit for allergy but make sure you know more about what you're getting into.
@@oxfords1 no he was getting an Airedale due to allergies. See above.
@@davidhuber2076 Cody Heuer wrote "I want one because we couldn’t get a golden retriever cause of my allergies" David I know but that's not the only reason he should get one. He needs to find out if he can deal with the personality as well. They are not a dog for everybody due to their high energy. I hope you understand what I'm trying to say. Anyway that was a year ago. Hopefully if he did get one he could deal with their rambunctious high energy personality. Ciao
Why has their popularity declined?
B was the answet
B Or A
What? What nonsense They were developed by crossing the Black and Tan Terrier which is now extinct and the otter hound. I've had 6 and still have one along with 3 Scottish Terriers. I would never be without at least 1 Airedale.

Do you know why they fell out of favor for Police work? Too hard to call off, when they are attacking. Don't forget, they are TERRIERS, bred (no, not their fault--no hate here) but they are bred to attack. That's what terriers do, and generally don't make good companions with other dogs. If you insist, mix the sex, male terrier, female other dog or vice versa. Two same sex dogs, one a terrier, one or both will get hurt. I'm surprised the experts on these things don't mention it more--everyone in show dog circles know it.
I do not agree with you in this regard, I trained three Airedales for protection work, one I could call off BEFORE he reach the "criminal". THE ARE NOT BRED TO ATTACK, it is NOT IN THEIR NATURE TO DO SO. They do get on with other dogs, AND cats. I had them mix with Miniature Schnauzers, GSD's and Welsh Terriers, only when I added the Welsh did I have a problem, the Welsh was the instigator.
Absolutely.... they have a mind of their own. The prey drive is so strong that you don't exist when their nose gets the better of them.
Mine tongued and once on a trail it was beyond my control. People must do their research , don't get an animal w/o knowing who they are. It's just not fair to them.
@@buxtondales you may have had a strong enough personality to dominate but most don't. Don't mislead the average pet owner bc that spells disaster.
@@buxtondales I have had many Airedales. They need a dominate owner. They will look for instruction but left to their own accord become unruly, at best.
I know the awnser it's A,B or C! :D
I dont like the aredale terrier he looks weird
