Living with Large Airedale Terriers

Living with Large Airedale Terriers

This Airedale Terrier video is a look back when we were still living in San Diego California with our two large Airedale Terriers.

Airedale Terriers, both the regular size, and the large ones, have wonderful dispositions and are easily trained.

In the photo at the start of the video below, that’s our Annie on the left and  Oakley on the right. Both these dogs have now crossed over the Rainbow Bridge, but my wife and myself have many fond memories of these two great companions. Read more »

I really don’t do anything special, but just write about and do videos on my two larger Airedale Terriers living here in San Diego California.
So, I’d really like to thank all of the Airedale Terrier lovers out there who have visited and continued to visit this website.

It’s really amazing, as you’ll see from the charts below, that just in the month of August we had over 7,600 unique visitors to this Airedale Terrier website! Read more »

Larger Airedales

Larger Airedales San Diego California

These larger Airedales are Annie and Teddy, located in San Diego, California.

The first time Airedales were imported to North America was in the 1880s, and the American Kennel Club officially recognized the breed in 1888. Apart from hunting small animals, the Airedale has also been used on hunts for larger game and as police dogs, war dogs and family guardians. Read more »

San Diego Best Dog Hiking

San Diego Best Dog Hiking

larger Airedale Terriers Barker Way trail

The Cowles Mountain trail that starts at Barker Way is perhaps the best San Diego dog hiking trail. After being closed since mid-March for the coronavirus, Cowles Mountain hiking trails opened up about two weeks ago.

My two larger Airedale Terriers are also known as Oorang Terriers, larger Airedales, and Mountain Airedales. Now, I’m not quite sure if the Mountain Airedale nickname refers to their size or the fact that they love to go hiking up mountains. But I can attest to the fact that having had five larger Airedale Terriers, all of which have hiked up the Barker Way trail with me numerous times, they just love to get out and hike all the trails around San Diego.

What would you do to protect your Airedale Terrier?

I try to take my two Airedale terriers out on a hike, park, walk in town and around town, at least six days a week.

California Mountain Airedales - Protect your Airedale Terrier

Keeping in mind the Boy Scout’s saying of being prepared, and having had a few close calls and one actual attack on my prior Airedale Terrier, I try to be prepared to protect my dogs should the unexpected occur.

On yesterday’s hike with Annie and Teddy as we were going up the Cowles Mountain trail, a guy was coming down with his large dog off leash. As he got to about 10 feet from us he grabbed his dogs collar and hung on to it as we passed each other. Then, when he was a little farther down the trail I looked back and saw he released his dog again, as they were continuing down the trail. Read more »

Better late than never – Airedale Terrier News

Annie – larger Airedale Terrier

After Annie gave birth last year to nine beautiful puppies on January 2, 2019, her next heat was almost exactly 6 months later. So, I expected her second heat after giving birth to be about 2 1/2 months ago. I guess nature really doesn’t care what I think, because it took another approximately 2 1/2 months before and she went into heat. Read more »

For me personally it seems like just a couple of months ago; in actuality it was January 2, 2019, that Annie gave birth to nine beautiful Airedale puppies.

Mountain Airedale puppies

This was the first time that Judi or I have ever bred a female dog. We’ve seen many puppies that were just a week or two old, but never saw the actual birth of the puppies. We consulted one professional Airedale breeder and one local lady who had bred a number of Airedales, including two litters where my prior big boy Airedale, Oakley, was the sire. I felt that I was prepared for the delivery and had all supplies on hand that I could possibly need. Read more »
