Airedale Terrier Facts

Airedale Terrier facts and opinion. Is the Airedale Terrier the ideal dog?

The Airedale Terrier gets its name from the Aire River valley, or dale, in Yorkshire where it was first bred. It was developed by crossing the Welsh terrier with the Otterhound in the mid-19th century to hunt otters and other rodents. Hounds and terriers were the dogs of choice on hunting trips in those days in England. Hounds would smell and pursue the animals, while terriers would burrow into the holes and make the final kill. Demand arose for a dog that combined the best of both the breeds, and the Airedale was born. Its talents at hunting are reflected in its strength, cleverness and boldness. It is also known as Bingley Terrier or Waterside Terrier, the latter because of its strong hunting skills across water bodies. Continue reading “Airedale Terrier Facts”

California Dog Hiking Danger

California Dog Hiking Danger – In the Danger Zone

Today about 10:30AM at Mission Trails Regional Park I saw the third rattlesnake for this year. Hiking with my two Airedale Terriers here in San Diego, seeing rattlesnakes on the trails is common.

But, today, I made an almost fatal mistake that could have taken out one or both of my dogs. Continue reading “California Dog Hiking Danger”
