Airedale Terrier
All terrier, courageous and alert
Airedales 101
Terrier groupTake all the attitude of the smaller terriers and upsize it to get "The King of Terriers," the Airedale. This sharp-looking dog enters every situation with a "look at me" strut and an independent spirit. They are smart and determined and do best with families that have both experience with terriers and a sense of humor.

The Airedale has been used both in police work and as a military messenger and sentry dog, although the vast majority are now kept as pets.
Airedale Terrier coat care and colors
The wiry coat of the Airedale requires regular brushing to help remove any loose or damaged fur. While the Airedale Terrier, as with the small wire-coated terriers, is traditionally and painstakingly "hand-stripped" of their outer coats, this is rarely done outside of the show world these days. For easy care, many pet Airedales are kept clipped. Acclimate to nail trims early to prevent future battles.
