Airedale Terrier Puppies for Sale - Dog Breed Information

Size : Large

Origin : Great Britain

INTRODUCTION
The Airedale Terrier has excelled in many areas of human service, including as a war dog, police dog and a hunter of both small and large game. During World War I an Airedale Terrier won the Victoria Cross for gallantry in the field.

APPEARANCE
The Airedale is a medium-sized, well-boned, squarely-built dog, and at all times a terrier in appearance and attitude. He should stand alert with head and tail held high, be interested and inquisitive, and show an intelligent, steady quality. Airedales are an elegant but sturdy dog, well-balanced and square, with height at the withers being about the same as the length from the front of the shoulder to the buttock. None of the dog's features should be exaggerated. The male has a definitely masculine appearance without being "common or cloddy". The female has a feminine appearance without being fine-boned or looking the least bit fragile. The ears should be alert and the expression eager and intelligent. The tail is carried up and adult Airedales should be self-confident, unafraid of people or other dogs. Intelligent puppies may display a more cautious attitude. Airedales are more reserved in temperament than many of the other terrier breeds, but should not act in a shy or spooky manner when approached by strangers.

CHARACTERISTICS
The Airedale Terrier is called the "King of the Terriers" for good reason; he is a fearless, intelligent, and devoted breed of dog.
