Airedale Terriers have broad versatility, intelligence, and unswerving loyalty.
A Mountain Airedale Terrier male can weigh anything from 60 to 125 pounds, with the female a little smaller. It has a coat of dense, harsh hair, with a softer and shorter undercoat. The standard coloring is tan with a black or drizzle saddle. The back is straight, and the tail fluffy, long and erect.
The lifespan of an Airedale Terrier is from 10 to 13 years, similar to other breeds of this size. It is a fairly sturdy breed, but some dogs are prone to eye infections, hip dysplasia and skin infections and need to be checked for these regularly. Hip Dysplasia, which is a genetic cause of arthritis, should be checked for in dogs that are being used for breeding. Skin infections can be discovered late in some dogs because of their dense coats.
Looking for a dignified, smart and courageous pet, whom you can give a good amount of time to, an Airedale Terrier is a very good choice for you and your family. Just remember that you need to be the alpha in the relationship – a weak owner does not work with an Airedale’s strong character.
