About the Airedale Terrier:
Airedale Terrier information, advice,
answers and dogs facts

This breed needs a good deal of daily exercise. They should not be expected to live in an apartment unless they are given several daily walks. They still have keen hunting instincts so should not be allowed to run freely in unfenced areas. The hard coat needs to be brushed daily to remove dead hair. The classic Airedale look is achieved by trimming and stripping the coat.

The Airedale is strong-willed and intelligent - obedience training and socialization should start at an early age. They have a tendency to be aggressive towards other dogs, training will help. They can be great companions for older children provided that both parties (the dog and child) have been taught how to treat one another with respect. Airedales make terrific watch dogs, and will defend their family with ferocity.
