Happy Valentine’s Day – Mountain Airedales
Living with Mountain Airedales
All Airedale Terriers have great dispositions and are easily trained.
The Airedale Terrier, the largest member of the terrier group, is known to admirers as the King of Terriers. They have broad versatility, intelligence, and unswerving loyalty. These Mountain Airedales (also known as Oorang Airedales) are a sub-breed of the standard Airedale Terrier and were bred to be a much larger size. Read more

The Airedale Terrier is named after the river Aire, which runs through the surrounding valleys that this breed first originated from in Yorkshire England. The area was said to have a bigger problem with rats than usual so these larger dogs begin to become the Terrier of choice with the locals. The Airedale Terrier usually lives to be around 13 years old but they are known to suffer from genetic defects including problems with their hips and eyes. Read more

Personally, I’m on my third Airedale… They’ve all been terrific, but my current one, Oakley is far and away the best!
Oakley, is a Mountain Airedale also known as an Oorang Airedale.

All these two names really do is designate that this type of Airedale is much larger than the official AKC sanctioned Airedale size. My first two Airedale’s for the regular size and now having the larger size ( Oakley is about 85 pounds) I personally believe this is the ideal size for this type of dog.

I occasionally read comments to the effect that there is no such thing as a Oorang Airedale or Mountain Airedale. There are some out there, who for whatever reason, love to put down the larger breed of the Airedale Terrier. They usually say it’s just a marketing gimmick or that these dogs are subject to greater hip problems than the standard Airedale. Personally, I believe they’re wrong on both points.
Oorang Airedale Terrier
Not to go into the whole history of the Oorang Airedale here in this post, but the fact is that Walter Lingo in 1920’s bred and sought to create an even more powerful type of Airedale. His efforts resulted in the King Oorang breed of Airedale dogs. Lingo described the King Oorang as the “world’s great all-around dog.”

Here is Oakley, my Oorang Airedale Terrier at 3.5 years old. Of the three Airedales I have owned, Oakley is my first Oorang and by far the smartest of my Airedales. He loves his five day per week walk up Cowles Mountain here in San Diego.
Oakley has been a dad twice now and is looking for another bitch for a little get-together. If any readers out there have a female AKC Oorang Airedale within traveling distance of San Diego, contact me.
