Visiting a breeder of the larger Airedale Terriers

Some years ago, I visited our breeder of the larger Airedales in California. Now, just a few weeks ago I was lucky enough to be in a position to visit an out-of-state breeder of these larger Airedale Terriers. I should say, that I’ve owned for Airedale terriers, and three of them were the normal AKC breed standard variety.

Then I was lucky enough to find out about the larger Airedale Terriers which are also known as mountain Airedales or Oorang Airedale Terriers. Oakley,my past large Airedale Terrier was 99 pounds and substantially larger in both stature and weight then the breed standard.

Even though he was AKC registered, because of his size he would be ineligible to enter any AKC registered shows. Naturally, I have nothing against the breed standard, although I feel the larger Airedales are definitely superior as a family companion and protector.

A number of people have asked me if these larger Airedales are susceptible to more problems associated with their larger size. Personally, I really think they are no more susceptible than the breed standard and perhaps it all hinges on the lineage. Naturally, larger dogs have a somewhat shorter lifespan than their smaller family members.

Don’t get me wrong here I’m not trying to nor do I want to criticize or change the AKC breed standard guidelines. But, but just like with the Schnauzer, Giant Schnauzer and Miniature Schnauzer I think they should be the way in creating standards for creating sub breeds of popular dogs.

As far as this video goes, and as I stayed in the video, I found all the dogs at this large Airedale readers facility to be happy, healthy, friendly and extremely playful. The facility itself, provided very large enclosures for the Airedales. The Airedale Terrier enclosures were cleaned twice a day, when the dogs were fed and provided with fresh drinking water.

Actually, the only thing I didn’t like about this large Airedale Terrier breeding facility, was the fact that I could only stay there for two days. Having so many playful happy Airedales in one place, I just didn’t have enough time to interact with them.
