Oorang Airedale Puppies
This is the second video of brother and sister Oorang Airedale puppies reunion after five months apart.
Annie and Pupernichol are the 8 month old Airedale puppies. Also, in the video is our 7 year old (92Lb.) Oorang Airedale, Oakley!
Annie is our fourth Airedale and each one has had their own very distinctive personalities. Although they’ve all been different, they’ve all had the similar traits of being very intelligent, fun loving, protective and most of all they love to get out and go for walks.
Personally, I think one of the reasons these dogs are so cute, especially the standard black and tan, is that they look like teddy bears that have come alive. Plus, they always seem to have a fun loving, attitude.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
The Airedale can be used as a working dog and also as a hunting dog. Airedales exhibit some herding characteristics as well, and have a propensity to chase animals. They have no problem working with cattle and livestock. However, an Airedale that is not well trained will agitate and annoy the animals.
The Airedale Terrier, like most Terriers, has been bred to hunt independently. As a result, the dog is very intelligent, independent, strong-minded, stoic, and can sometimes be stubborn. If children and Airedale are both trained correctly, Airedales can be an excellent choice for a family dog. Airedales can do well with cats and other small animals, especially when they are raised with them.
Albert Payson Terhune wrote of the Airedale: “Among the mine-pits of the Aire, the various groups of miners each sought to develop a dog which could outfight and outhunt and outthink the other miner’s dogs. Tests of the first-named virtues were made in inter-mine dog fights. Bit by bit, thus, an active, strong, heroic, compactly graceful and clever dog was evolved – the earliest true form of the Airedale.
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.”
