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.
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.
If by “aggressive” you mean strong prey drive and not realizing it’s own strength when playing with small critters then yes, extremely aggressive but they aren’t aggressive unless abused
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 :(
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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!
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 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.
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.
@@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
I have a Airedale nz sheep dog cross . I use him as my main pig hunting dog. Will track and bail pigs out to 2 kms. Very strong willed .we have a constant battle to see who is the boss.
My 2nd airedale terrier is now 18 months old and trained very well.. the only thing that sorta of bothers me is while she plays well with all dogs, she will not stand up to dogs that want to hurt her. My first airedale female would not take shit from any other dog, no matter how big. This one will play ruff with me but when it comes mean dogs, just does not able to protect herself.
Dogs aren’t that different from people. They all have different personalities. Even if some have inherited traits, such as playfulness, aggressiveness, shyness, etc., it all depends on the individual dog.
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.
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.
They look like they are smiling all the time, i love it
That's the best thing :)
I wish my Airedale Terrier was still with me
