Russian Airedale Terriers

Who would think that the Airedale Terrier which has its origins in England would be popular in Russia? bbut, from this video it certainly looks like Russians can appreciate all the qualities of the Airedale Terrier.

The Airedale is indeed the largest of all terriers. The Airedale breed originated in the Aire Valley of Yorkshire, and was created to catch otters and rats in the region between the Aire and Wharfe Rivers. The Airedale became an ideal working dog, proving his worth during World War I. Intelligent, outgoing, and confident, the Airedale Terrier possesses a wonderful playful streak that delights his owners.

Airedale Terrier Grooming

Airedale Terrier Grooming

This is a good video on trimming your Airedale Terrier.

I’ve always been a do-it-yourselfer when it comes to grooming my two Mountain Airedale Terriers. Mostly,DIY grooming is out of necessity because I know that neither of my two Airedale’s would put up with professional grooming.

I think if you want to bring your hairdo and for professional grooming you should start when they’re a puppy so they get used to the experience. On the other hand, looking at videos like this, that go over the entire procedure, and getting a good set of electronic clippers, it’s really relatively easy to do this yourself.

Mountain Airedale Terriers are usually around 40/45 pounds or so, but, the larger Airedale Terrier also known as a mountain Airedale or an Oorang Airedale can weigh up to about 110 pounds!

My male Airedale Terrier in this video,Oakley, is 92 pounds! Personally, I think this is the ideal size for an Airedale Terrier. These larger Airedale Terriers are AKC registered but because they don’t meet the standard breed size requirements cannot be entered into any AKC sanctioned shows.

Airedale Terriers

My wife has allergies to cats & dogs. We now  have two Mountain Airedales, and the wife has no issues with them.  They are overall a smart dogs, but you should always spend time training them, they can be destructive if not.

My Airedales will bark at home when someone is outside (or a cat) and alert us if something isn’t right in their eyes.  Although they both are very smart, dogs don’t understand friends and family and strangers.  If it is someone they have not met before, they will consider them a stranger.  If you want him / her to be a guard dog (basically just bark at what is outside) they are good for it, but if you want a protection dog, they need some training.

The area was said to have a bigger problem with rats than usual so these larger dogs begin to become the Terrier of choice with the locals.
