Teddy is my Large Airedale Terrier Puppy

At just 13 weeks old  his weight was 33.4lbs..

This Airedale Terrier puppy comes from a lineage of larger Airedale Terriers. The larger Airedale Terriers, are commonly called Oorang Airedales or Mountain Airedales.

These larger Airedales can be registered and usually are with the AKC. But, they cannot be entered into sanctioned AKC dog shows because their height and weight exceed the standard currently in place for the Airedale terrier breed.

It’s my own personal contention, having owned a number of regular Airedales, and the larger Airedales, for me, the larger Airedale seems like the ideal dog.

I also would like to say, that I personally see no difference in characteristics, behavior and the intelligence between the larger Airedales and the regular Airedales.

Now for my 13 week old puppy here, his dad was 112 Lbs. So, Teddy, is definitely going to be one large Airedale Terrier.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

Airedales weigh approximately 50-80 pounds, being active and agile enough to perform well, while not too small to function as a physical deterrent, retriever or hunter. Some breeders have produced larger Airedale Terriers, such as the ‘Oorang Airedale’, developed in the 1920s.

Ex-Army captain and Airdale breeder Walter Lingo’s monthly magazine “Oorang Comments” (#25, page 81), stated that When full grown your Airedale dog will weigh from forty to fifty-five pounds and if a female will weigh slightly less. This is the standard weight, but when required, we can furnish oversized Airedales whose weight will be from sixty to one hundred pounds.”

Because Lingo tried to fill orders for everyone, the Oorang strain size was never standardized. Airedales weighing from 40 to 100 pounds were produced, but for the most part they were approximately 50 pounds and 22 to 24 inches at the shoulder. In the United States, the male Airedales measure 40 to 70 pounds, with the Oorang strain typically in the 80 to 120 pound range.

He is swift, formidable, graceful, big of brain, an ideal chum and guard. ….To his master he is an adoring pal. To marauders he is a destructive lightning bolt.”
