So true! I have two Airedale puppies. They must be watched!

[@georgefitzhugh6455]

I’ve owned 3 Airedales and taught each of my dogs to ring bells hanging on the back door they needed to go out. They are great family, companions, and guard dogs.

I’m going to have to KZbin this, is out it’s done! Xx

[@johngannon8973]

I'm an electrical contractor and have raised two Airedales (at different times) as truck dogs. I would throw my boys in the backyards of my clients, with their dogs, and they got along great, no alpha issues. At the end of the work day we would go to the nearest dog park to release energy and socialize. They are great dogs for camping, will guard your food against bear and mine would ride on my Jet Ski. When my daughters were young, they would dress the dogs in tutus and put hair scrunchies around their ears. My Airedales loved the attention! Consistency is the key to training, they are stubborn because they are SMART. They ran circles around my friend's inbred labs and ALWAYS came when I whistled, without fail. Tommy makes me miss mine but it's so nice to see him growing up! Thanks for sharing Maria!

[@MariaOrtiz-rj7tf]

Thanks for sharing! 😁 you are absolutely right! Stubborn because they are smart!

[@jder6071]

I’ve had 8 Airedale’s and a welsh terrier. One of my favorite breed of dog, I recommend putting a squeaky toy under a pile of blankets and pillows, it keeps them busy and teaches them to find things

They are a great breed. No shedding, no slober, and smart. They are the cutest! Such clowns. Very lovable!

Nice looking boy. I've had four of them in the past. Very clownish, enjoys making us laugh. Need to be the boss as they like to test limits. Are good guard dogs but can get along with people and other dogs. Fun energetic breed.

I have a 4yo male Airedale... he's my 5th one as my parents bought one when I was 6yo and I have been in love with the breed ever since. You made a great choice, that dog will love you guys, protect you, make you laugh and help you through the worst life throws at you. 2yo he will chill out, so forgive his puppy ways as his mischief levels will taper out at 2 if he's well trained. Your son must love having that pup, I know my Airedale's were my sidekicks all through my childhood, the brothers I never had.

[@TheSnoshoo5]

Totally agree! 2 is the magic number if trained with consistency

[@susanwiley1946]

We have had 2 airedales. We lost Mattie when she was 12 and now have Maggie who is 3. Keeps you alert and going!!!🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@kimdillon989]

My Airedale is now 6 years old. When he was young he ate the carrot nose off my snowman. He also chewed the Holly on it’s hat. He has chewed lots of stuff and n his youth. Airedale’s have to be supervised tall times. LOL! Turbo is the love of my life. He runs agility and does obedience. It’s definitely a breed that needs a job. They have to stay busy. ❤️

[@susangordon1833]

I have had (5) Airedales. I just lost my baby a year and a half ago . There is nothing like an Airedale. To me a house is not a home without an Airedale. I have been looking for another Airedale and really have had no success. Please let me know where you got yours? I'm lost without my baby. She was everything. She had her own fan club. I dressed her. The bond we had was so strong unlike anything I ever experienced before. My other dogs and I were bonded but my Nelly she was one of a kind. To have an Airedale come through my door again would be the greatest gift I could receive. Good luck with Tommy he iui s so precious. My baby loved bells. I would put them on the door and on the Christmas Tree so she could ring them and she did. I still do it in memory of her. There was a sign in her vets office that said "Dogs are not our life they are part of our life" That was wrong for me she was my life I had nothing else or noone..

[@MariaOrtiz-rj7tf]

Im so sorry for your loss. 🙏 Absolutely! I can't imagine my home without him now! I know finding a purebred airedale is hard to find. I found a breeder in Oklahoma thru tje AKC website. Good luck and hope you find your next fur baby soon! Thank you!

[@katyderenzo6946]

Kountry dales to find an airedale. In home bred not a kennel. I've gotten both mine through this breeder. She's a very responsible knowledgeable breeder.

Great dogs! I’m on my third Airedale. Positive reinforcement for them. They don’t do well with negative reinforcement.

[@MariaOrtiz-rj7tf]

Thanks! Im starting to learn that! 😅

[@ALLinHerMovements]

Agreed. We have two young Airedales and you have to be gentle and firm with them. Smart but also stubborn. Try Barn Hunt! They excel at that sport.

[@PeterTea]

True. It’s hard to out stubborn them sometimes... but if you have something they want, maybe a treat or two, they will do things with a hilarious amount of gusto💨 Thanks for the bar hunting info. Sounds like Rufus would like that.

[@sheila1013]

He is such a beautiful boy. I had a Lakeland Terrier many years ago, who looked like a miniature version of Tommy. Along with the Welsh Terrier, they make a trio of handsome breeds. ♥️👌

[@John_in_da_UP]

I'm so glad you mentioned that Airedales don't like to snuggle. I thought mine was broken

[@Antfarmer]

Tommy is so cute! 💕 and I love your videos. I’d heard over and over that Airedales were Not for everyone, so I did LOTS of research (before we got our first Airedale 3 years ago.) I knew they were smart/independent like all terriers but especially needed a firm but gentle hand. I’d had other terriers before so I thought it couldn’t be That much difference. Not once did I read anything about their general “lack of cuddliness,” so I think that’s great you brought it out. I wonder if that’s a reason some people give them up... But you are so right! even if not particularly “cuddly” there is no doubt that they love their family so very much! We’ve never had a dog like her!! 💝 I think she makes us laugh almost every day. It’s hard to explain to someone exactly what it is about them...I think you have to have one to really understand what it is. If you explained previously, I’ve forgotten, but how did you decide you wanted an Airedale?

[@MariaOrtiz-rj7tf]

Thank you so much 💓 omg yes its so hard to describe what it's like having an airedale until you actually own one. And yes Tommy makes us laugh EVERY day 😆 I actually posted a video on my channel when we first picked him up from the breeder and talk about how we decided but really i had a friend who owned one and i just thought they were so beautiful looking! So i did more research and it just seemed like the perfect fit for our home 😁

[@Antfarmer]

Hope you do an update soon❣️

[@tomferguson8104]

We have had 2 females & 2 males. The males, especially the one we have now is very cuddly. The others all wanted some alone time.

We’re on our second set up of dales. I find them quirky. Each has had their level of affection. They’re pretty independent. All will be close by but not on top of you. When we come home it’s a song & dance. KZbin has plenty of those videos. We had a 236 lb English mastiff that was more of a lap dog than our dales. Great family dogs.

Wait till he hits the terrible 2's. basically a teenage boy. will be mature at 3. never let him get away with growling at you. make sure you can put your hand in his bowl while he is eating. as far as a guard dog you have the best guard dog on the planet.

It might be tough to train a notoriously stubborn dog while raising small children unless you have a lot of experience or can arrange for a lot of dog training.
