Just a couple of days ago, it was our weekly Airedale Terrier puppy weight taking time. There are two very important reasons for weighing Airedale puppies on a weekly basis. The first reason is, you want to be sure that the puppies are gaining weight every week. If for some reason they didn’t gain any weight, at this stage of their little life, it would be time to bring them to the vet.
The second main reason for weighing your Airedale puppies on a weekly basis, is to ensure that when your next deworming treatment comes up (usually every 10 days) you give the right dosage, which is based on their current weight.
The Airedale Terrier is a terrierdog breed originating from Airedale in Yorkshire, England. It traditionally was called the “King of Terriers” because they are the largest of the terrier breeds, 50 to over 100 pounds.
The Airedale terrier was bred originally to hunt otters in and around the valleys of the River Aire from whence it gets its name. In England this breed was used as a police dog to help find criminals. As pets Airedales can be very entertaining. They are fun-loving animals. Socializing (contact with other dogs) during the first months of age is specially important in this breed.
Yes, Airedale Oorangs love to play and go on walks. The Oorang Airedales are also called Mountain Airedales because of their larger size.
