Airedale Terrier Gifts and Merchandise

The Airedale Terrier originated in Yorkshire England. It was originally bred to hunt otters. It is one of the larger terrier breeds with a weight of 45-70 lbs and approximately 23-24 inches at the shoulder. The Airedale outer coat is hard and stiff with the undercoat shorter and softer. The color is black and tan. The Airedale can be used as a working dog and also as a hunter. Airedales exhibit some herding characteristics as well, and have a propensity to chase animals. They have no problem working with cattle and livestock. However, an Airedale that is not well trained will agitate and annoy the animals. Strong-willed, with the tenacity commonly seen in terriers, the Airedale is a formidable opponent. The dog is very intelligent, independent, strong-minded, stoic, and can be stubborn. The Airedale is a dog with a great sense of humor. They are also very loving, always in the middle of the family activities. Airedales are also known for expressing exactly what they are thinking, unlike more aloof breeds. The Airedale is also a reliable and protective family pet. Airedales are exceedingly loyal and strong dogs. They are very energetic, and need plenty of exercise.
