Airedale Terrier

We are alone, absolutely alone on this chance planet: and, amid all the forms of life that surround us, not one, excepting the dog, has made an alliance with us. Maurice Maeterlinck

Airedale Terrier is often called “King of Terriers” because of its size. The breed originates from England. Airedales are highly intelligent, fearless and energetic. According to many stories, Airedales were wildly used as messengers and Red Cross aids in World War II. Presidents Theodore Roosevelt, Calvin Coolidge, and Warren Harding owned Airedales and this fact with breeds  natural bravery and intelligence, promoted these beautiful dogs. John Wayne always took his Airedale Terriers wherever he went. They were nicknamed “Big Duke” and “Little Duke”. Airedales often perform in circuses, they guard and hunt.

Airedales have hard, dense and wiry coat. It has to be cut from time to time as the dogs do not shed.

Bear in mind that the dogs of the breed are very independent and even stubborn, that’s why Airedale puppies need firm, patient and consistent training. But do not bore the dog, as Airedales are “thinkers”.

The dog is portrayed on this poster with eyes full of terrier expression, curiosity, keenness and intelligence. The nature of the breed was perfectly caught by an unknown author.
