Airedale
History and origin: Developed by crossing aged English black and tan terrier with Otterhound bloodlines, the Airedale was first used in 19th century England for large sport hunting, vermin killing, and police and military labor. The breed is named after the valley of Aire in Yorkshire.
Description: The tallest of the terriers, the Airedale stands 22 to 23 inches at the shoulder and weighing between 50 and 60 pounds. He has a muscular, strong, durable body and a thin, non-shedding coat that requires each day grooming with a stiff brush and periodic clipping. Show dogs, nevertheless, require hand-stripping, a method that involves pulling dead hair out by hand to maintain the shine and hard texture of the fur. Color is usually black-and-tan, with some red and, less regularly, white markings.
About the breed: This gorgeous, muscular, sporty breed exhibits all the tenacity and willpower of a terrier, simply in a bigger package. The Airedale is stubborn and is frequently complicated to teach. He learns slowly, so do not expect one to pick up on things as fast as a German Shepherd or a Border Collie. The Airedale is energetic, sometimes unreliable, and frequently sensitive to the burden of training. If an Airedale resists learning a specific command, the last thing you ought to do is get firmer with the dog. His confrontation will just amplify and could accelerate into fright. He should not be spoiled, moreover; a brief, incremental training method needs to be implemented from puppy hood. Although loving with his owners, the Airedale tends to be doubtful of strangers and can show hostility toward people and dogs. He makes a great watchdog since of his territorial nature. The Airedale cannot always distinguish between a friend and a foreigner, nevertheless, and he may present your friends and your children’s friends a hard time. This breed is not suggested for families with young kids. Early obedience training and lots of socialization with people and other dogs from an initial age is mandatory.
Feeding: Suggested feeding for the Airedale is at least 1-1
