Airedale Terriers - The Dogs With The Waggiest Tails

Trudi and Turnip are our Airedale terriers - and we love them. We also have a sweet gentle dog called Annie, but this video is mostly about Turnip and Trudi. About how we train them, what they do all day, and especially about their very waggy tails : - )

[@thedativecase9733]

Beautiful dogs - all three of them. I have been an Airedale fan since my teens and like yourself I wondered why Airedales no longer seemed to be a popular breed even here in England. HOWEVER.... my niece who lives in another part of Manchester from me says she has in the last few months,, seen FIVE new Airedales and their owners when walking her neighbour's dog. Five new Airedales in one middle class suburb- surely this is a positive sign for our lovely dogs.!

We don't know anything about Annie before she came here. The vet who rescued her from the city wonders whether she might have been used to produce puppies. She was in a bad condition when she came to us, and emotionally, she's still recovering really, but at the same time the sweetest gentlest dog there is, never grumpy with people, always loving.

Thank you for sharing this history of the Airedale Terriers. Your two definitely are so cute and well behaved. I saw how the younger dog tried watching the older one to try to catch on to what he needed to do to get a treat. Dogs really are a man’s best friend! And let’s not forget the ladies who are dog lovers too! 👍

Turnip's time for a 'proper' lesson will come, so far he is left to enjoy watching and getting his treats for free, that's the life for a puppy!

[@makingitthrough190]

So interesting to hear how you care for their coats. And all the other interesting things about Airedales. I had one next door when I was growing up. Her name was Tiger, it was great fun to go to school and tell my friends there was a tiger living next door to me! Our current dog is a French Waterdog. But he too is not that keen on water and was put to shame by a Springer Spaniel who demonstrated how a “real water dog” springs fearlessly into our local river. So your video made me laugh, when you mentioned that. Every dog, no matter the breed, will have their own personality it’s part of what makes them such good companions. As always, thanks for sharing. And hugs to the dogs.

[@WayOutWestx2]

Thanks Katie G My mum had an Airedale living next to her, too, when she was growing up, she can't remember his name though - great story about Tiger!

[@kendo7704]

Lovely video, you love your Airedales and that is what matters! They are lucky to have you and plenty of open space to be dogs. I too am in love with this breed. Annie was darling and hopefully Turnip and Trudi will bring her around. Thank you for sharing this warm video.

Our Airedale is a great family dog high energy dog , but one good / bad thing is he has claimed my kids as his and is very protective of them, even if they are out playing with other kids in the yard he has to stay in and he will go from window to window growling and barking. He started this at a very early stage in life.

[@WayOutWestx2]

I heard that they can get very possessive of their people...a good thing I suppose but sometimes difficult to manage I imagine!

[@laureldell7377]

They are beautiful dogs. I had many and did the grooming myself which takes time. As long as you don't get the pick of the litter they are very intelligent. I had issues with their hunting instinct, they can become troublesome in that respect. I love the breed but you need to understand that their high energy level needs to be satisfied. *side note* I had a farm with a pond and 2 Airedale puppies, one came running back to my horse just barking away, he was telling me that his brother got his foot stuck in the pond reeds. That was very cute.

[@WayOutWestx2]

Yes they are! And yes, they need a lot of space to use their heaps of energy - not a city dog or indoor dog by any means! That's so clever of your puppy to call you for help!

[@jeffslade1892]

I've kept Airedales forever. I reckon the breed is getting bigger, I've noticed the KC no longer gives heights and weight for the standard. The boys are maybe 1/3 bigger than the ladies. Our last lad was huge and went to some 47kg at his peak. Our current 5 month old must be over 25kg now, you can almost see him growing. He heard your dogs on the video and sparked off at it, right in my ear. He's already trained to the usual commands but he's at the 'thug' stage where he doesn't know his own strength and playtime can be a bit violent, Airedales like playing 'bitey face' and those choppers are hard, so are their skulls. They're so intelligent that many of the normal training tricks don't work - he'll be naughty so you will give him a command to stop that and then a treat, thinking two steps ahead; so you have to think three steps ahead. They'll get bored repeating the same command, you have to move on to the next one, but they can learn six commands at the same time; you can mix them up.They always think about obeying a command or whether there is something else more important they should do - squirrel!

[@WayOutWestx2]

What you describe sound so like our Trudi! She loves doing the commands, but doesn't like it so much when I want her to show them off to others, or she does them all in quick succession when I only ask for 'sit', thinking Sandra asks me anyways eventually for them so I might get it all done and over with for her in quicker time! and yes, if there's any tiny distraction...there goes the attention! Our Turnip will be much bigger than Trudi, I can see that already!

[@alishawallo5670]

I'm studying breeds, in hopes to find the best one to be a farm dog, as well as to be a trick, obedience and agility partner. I've adored every airendale I've met. My one concern was their pray hunting heritage (I have a sweet cockatiel in my home) but it seems if I train a puppy up with supervision, they can know what to chase and what not to. There are moles, squirrels and foxes a plenty to ward off ;)

[@shadow-Sun]

I have an Airerdale pup (male ) and he is as nonschalant a Dog as you can get . That's not to say he does not have character and energy but Airedales are definately dogs with minds of their own , very handsome they are too with almost no shedding of any kind of that coat which although wiry outer has a beautifully soft down like fur close to the skin which when brushed comes out . Any one considering a Dog I urge you to consider an Airedale they are not as popular as they once were (in the 1940s ) and as a result may be way down peoples choice list based on what's in vogue currently ..but they are excellent Dogs .

[@WayOutWestx2]

I totally agree - if you like to be outdoors and meet an energetic dog's urge to play and move and learn, then Airedales will bring you heaps of joy. They certainly know what they want but are very keen to learn from you what you want.

[@TheLt375]

I first noticed your videos because of Bob and have stuck around. I have been meaning to ask you about the Airedales. It is clear that they get along with the small critters - or at least show no aggressive behavior. Was that already in these dogs nature? Or is it your training? After the passing of my Bergamasco, I am starting to look for a other dog. I have been told that the Airedales will get along with cats that they are raises with, but will kill critters in your yard such as rabbits and squirrels. That notion has my wife worried enough that she wants me to look at other dogs. Just curious about your experience with them.

[@WayOutWestx2]

Our two are really good but I suspect that's because they get a huge amount of exercise and attention. And even then we wouldn't trust them with rabbits or guineapigs. They probably would be ok - as they are with the poultry - but they might get carried away and forget. They love children and babies and they're easy to groom, but they're basically ratters and that's never far beneath the surface. Good luck!
