Airedale Terrier Thanksgiving

In the quaint town of Prescott Arizona, nestled amidst rolling hills and vibrant autumn foliage of central Arizona’s High Desert at elevations of 5,300, lived two spirited larger Airedale Terriers named Teddy. and Tova. Teddy and Tova were no ordinary dogs; they possessed an uncanny ability to understand human language and hearts brimming with warmth and compassion. As Thanksgiving approached, Teddy and Tova eagerly awaited the festivities, tails wagging with anticipation of the savory aromas and joyous gatherings that filled the holiday air.

On Thanksgiving morning, Teddy and Tova’s senses were awakened by the tantalizing scent of roasting turkey wafting from the kitchen. Their noses twitched with delight as they imagined the juicy meat and crispy skin that awaited them. As the family gathered around the dining table, Teddy and Tova eyes were sparkling with curiosity.

Big Airedale Puppy

Large Airedale Terrier puppy at 9 weeks old in Arizona.

I have owned both the regular size Airedale terriers and the larger Airedale Terriers also known as Oorang Airedales, Mountain Airedales or just plain big Airedale Terriers.

Personally, I believe the larger Airedale Terrier is the ideal Airedale! As far as personalities go, I have seen absolutely no difference between the regular size Airedale and the larger Airedales. Read more

Airedale Terrier Facts

Airedale Terrier facts and opinion. Is the Airedale Terrier the ideal dog?

The Airedale Terrier gets its name from the Aire River valley, or dale, in Yorkshire where it was first bred. It was developed by crossing the Welsh terrier with the Otterhound in the mid-19th century to hunt otters and other rodents. Hounds and terriers were the dogs of choice on hunting trips in those days in England. Hounds would smell and pursue the animals, while terriers would burrow into the holes and make the final kill. Demand arose for a dog that combined the best of both the breeds, and the Airedale was born. Its talents at hunting are reflected in its strength, cleverness and boldness. It is also known as Bingley Terrier or Waterside Terrier, the latter because of its strong hunting skills across water bodies. Read more

Larger Airedale Terriers Arizona

Just two months ago we moved from San Diego California to Peoria Arizona. So, how did Annie (apx 6Yrs old) and Teddy (21 Mos old) handle the move and their new home?

Annie and Teddy my two large mountain Airedales made the big move if it with us, from San Diego California, to Peoria Arizona during the first week of November 2020.

They did well on the long 5 1/2 hour car trip and love exploring their new house and yard. Our house is about 25 years newer than our San Diego home, and the yard is much larger as well.

There is no doubt whatsoever that Annie and Teddy really love their new home. They seem to be playing and interacting much more with each other, than they were in San Diego. Read more
