Airedale Terrier
Breed History:
Known as "the King of all Terriers", the Airedale Terrier
was originally bred to be used as an "all purpose dog" that could
not only hunt water vermin, but upland game, and also be a
fearless guard dog, loyal family companion and trusted friend.

Breed Characteristics:
The largest of the terrier breeds, the Airedale Terrier
stands 23" tall at the shoulder and weighs from 55 to 68 pounds.
The Airedale Terrier is the dog of all dogs; whatever you are able
to teach them, they will do for you. Loving, clownish, happy and
gregarious with a true zest for life, these dogs make
extraordinary companions, and are particularly fond of children.

Grooming Requirements:
The Airedale's coat requires a certain amount of care;
hand-stripping and regular visits to the groomers are needed to
keep the sleek and elegant appearance. These wonderful dogs excel
in obedience training and are relatively easy to house-break. They
require plenty of daily exercise and liberal amounts of love, care
and attention in order to thrive. A fenced yard is a must.
