ABOUT THE BOOK

Airedale terriers, also known as "Airedales," originated from the Yorkshire region of England. The Airedales belong to the class of dogs called the terriers, and the Airedale has been nicknamed the "King of Terriers." The nickname was given to the Airedale, because it is the largest canine in the terrier class.

The Airedale weighs approximately 55 to 65 pounds, and grows to be about two feet tall. Airedales have medium-length black and tan coats, with a wiry topcoat that feels soft and fluffy underneath. The coat covering the back and legs appears curly and stiff, and must be regularly groomed. The Airedale does not shed much, if any, fur. Many Airedales have a surgical procedure done shortly after birth, called docking. The term docking means shortening the tail of the canine, which makes the tail stiff and stand at attention.

EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK

This breed of terrier is very athletic and energetic, making the Airedale a good dog for people who lead an active lifestyle. The Airedale works hard and plays hard and needs a lot of exercise and personal interaction to feel comfortable in his or her setting. Since this dog becomes easily bored, she will need an owner who is available for exercise and play and who is not away from home for extended periods of time. If your Airedale becomes bored he may choose to destroy your favorite pair of shoes, new couch, or dog bed. While an Airedale can destroy many items indoors, his tendencies to destroy can also ruin your garden or grass outdoors.

Besides keeping the terrier busy by running, playing, and jumping, you will have to keep her mind stimulated as well. This is a thinking breed and the canine enjoys obedience games, playing and hunting games. Doing a few of these games every day will keep the dog mentally sharp and entertained.

While an Airedale is a loving, sweet dog, if not introduced to cats at a young age he may be naturally inclined to chase them. The Airedale must become used to other house pets, like rabbits, rodents, and ferrets. It is best to bring a young Airedale puppy home to a house that has older cats, versus introducing a cat to a home that already has an older Airedale terrier.
