Airedale Terrier puppies – Oorang Airedale Dog Training
I think I’m going to need a larger bed for Teddy. Teddy is 9 weeks old and weighs just over 21Lbs.
The bed is the one that was in Teddy’s kennel when he arrived just about two weeks ago. Two days after Teddy arrived we took him to the veterinarian for a general health exam. At the veterinarian’s office Teddy Wade in at 15.8 pounds. Continue reading “Large Airedale Puppy 9 Weeks Old”
This video shows the arrival of our new large Airedale Terrier puppy, Teddy! Our new large Airedale Terrier puppy arrived on Alaska airlines all the way from the St. Louis airport.
I do want to say, that if you’re planning on getting a puppy or just shipping your dog by air, always check to see that you can get a nonstop flight. When I was checking I found that the airlines use the terminology direct flight which can be mistaken for nonstop. But, all the direct flights that I checked always had a stop and I didn’t want to put my new little Airedale through any unnecessary travel annoyances. Continue reading “Large Airedale Puppy”
San Diego’s Cowles Mountain, Barker Way trail . . . just a few weeks ago.
Annie had nine puppies his January. Only two of her pups are in San Diego. One Airedale puppy, is in Chula Vista and another is in Oceanside. I’ll be doing a reunion video of Annie and her two puppies in a few months. Continue reading “Airedale Hike San Diego”
As some of you may already know our large Airedale Oakley, passed on just before his 11th birthday this past August. Annie and Oakley were the first time we ever had two Airedales. After Oakley went over the rainbow bridge I occasionally thought about getting another Airedale puppy.
A couple of months ago I had put a deposit down on an a male Airedale puppy that was just a few weeks old at the time. But, unfortunately the breeder became ill and their partner wanted to keep that male puppy. Both Judy and I were sad that this little puppy which we thought was coming to our home was now staying with the breeder.
About three weeks ago, I received information that there were three larger size Airedale puppies back in the Midwest that were available. After reviewing the breeders information and checking the AKC lineage, and naturally quite a few photos of the puppy, we decided to make the commitment and provide Annie with an adopted brother.

Dog hiking in Mission Trails Regional Park at the river trail-head at Mission Gorge Road & Jackson Drive. This is a nice wide trail that goes down to the San Diego River. The river is usually dry in the summer. But, even with a little water, you can cross by going just a little west of the main crossing & avoid getting wet.
Now, the trail going up on the Tierrasanta side is steeper than the San Diego side, but, still easy. These trails are good for your dog especially late in the day, because they are mostly shaded from direct sun and they are really wide. Continue reading “Airedale Hike – Mission Trails Regional Park”
This video is made using my new Insta360 One X camera. The video was shot at Cowles Mountain (the highest point in the city of San Diego) approaching the summit by coming up the Barker Way trail.
I tried to get my Airedale Terrier, Annie out for this hike about five days a week. She really looks forward to it, enjoyed the exercise meeting new people and other dogs as well as occasionally seeing some San Diego wildlife. Because it can get pretty warm here in San Diego we usually do this hike late in the afternoon, and if it’s time just right, we can get up at the summit in time for a sunset over the Pacific Ocean Continue reading “Airedale Terrier Hike 360”
Last week, after an almost three-month maternity leave, Annie and I started back on our hikes up Cowles Mountain, here in San Diego.
Cowles Mountain, at 1,591 feet is the highest point within the city of San Diego. Of the three main trails that go up to the top, I prefer the Barker Way trail, which some people refer to as the back side trail. Continue reading “San Diego Airedale Hike”
Some time ago I read a piece about Airedale terriers where the author said that there’s nothing that makes an Airedale happier than going on a walk of 45 minutes or so. Now, personally, I think that perhaps running around with a couple of other Airedales on an acre or two of property would be something that would make an Airedale really happy.
But it’s certainly true, at least with the Airedales that I’ve had, they all love to go out on hikes here in San Diego. I usually wait until about 90 minutes before sunset before doing a strenuous hike by going up Cowles’s mountain. I found that the Airedales, are very sensitive to hot weather, and so I go up the east side of the mountain before sunset (and naturally carry a lot of water for the dogs to drink) so they don’t get overheated or heat exhaustion.
Airedales are pretty stoic, and I think they would try to stay up with their human companion, rather than stop and cool down. So, always bring water for them and never hike in the hottest part of the day.
Judi and I say goodby to Mabel, the first of our female Airedale puppies to be selected and the last of Annie’s nine puppies to leave our care.
When Mabel’s brother Barnaby left and she was all alone (naturally Annie was still here), you could tell right away that she was sad. After all, she had eight other siblings to play with, and then before she knew it, it was just her and her brother. Continue reading “9 week old Airedale Terrier puppy”
