The Airedale Terrier is a dog that
has plenty of courage and confidence. The Airedale
Terrier dog is a protective and loyal pet as well as an
intelligent and fun loving entertainer. The Airedale
Terrier dog breed is fine for families with children.
The Airedale Terrier dogs can be a little rough in terms
of play. Therefore may not be the best choice for
families with smaller children. The Airedale Terrier dog
has a high prey drive and this means that socialization
with other household pets must be done early on. The
Airedale Terrier dogs is not the best choice of dog for
those with smaller pets such as rabbits and guinea pigs.
The Airedale Terrier dog breed can be aggressive with
other dogs, but will usually be either friendly or
simply polite with strangers. The Airedale Terrier dogs
protective instincts makes him a good watchdog. The
Airedale Terrier dog can also be stubborn, headstrong,
and very independent. The Airedale Terrier is very agile
and energetic. It is important to keep him occupied and
dedicate plenty of time to play and exercise. A bored
Airedale Terrier can become very destructive in finding
ways to burn off his energy. This is a dog that may me
best for those with experience in obedience training as
failure to be assertive, firm, yet positive with this
breed can result in the owner becoming the owned!
It has a flat and elongated head, a deep
chest, and very straight front legs. It has a rough,
wiry coat that resists dampness (a must for the rainy
weather of the Valley of Aire, England, where it was
originally bred and from which it gets its name). This
is lined by a softer undercoat. The fur is usually tan
with dark griddle saddle markings. Ears fold forward,
the short tail, which it holds gaily but never curls
over the back, is often docked.
