There's Only One King of Terriers - The Airedale-YouTube.mov

Video of "Piper", an Airedale Terrier running in the snow at the beach.

[@rosaartemisg5027]

I watched this video several different times throughout the years.... This baby reminds me so much of my Scout! Due to unfortunate circumstances , I had to give him up when he was 4.5yo The goal was to have weakly visitation rights but the new owner somehow vanished without a trace .... No separation has ever hurt me this badly ! He was the love of my life! Outstanding video !! Thank you for sharing!

[@amymack1954]

I had an Airedale who lived to be 14 1/2 years old. He was such a great dog! Smart, sweet and goofy. Miss you, Shaddy!

[@elmafudd9703]

May I ask what you fed Shaddy. I am thinking of a meat diet. evidence show that a dog off the commercial food lives at least 3 years longer.

[@amymack1954]

@@elmafudd9703 I fed him IAMS; I couldn't afford really fancy food, and I was working full time and had no time to start cooking for him. I think that the main reason he lived so long, besides his good genes, was that I never gave him any people food with two exceptions: whenever I got Chinese takeout, he got some of the white rice, because it was plain with no added salt, and I would let him have the fortune cookie (without the fortune in it, of course).

[@elmafudd9703]

@@amymack1954 Thankyou. Organ meat from the butchers is very cheap. its often just thrown away. Study this on line. feed them home made yogurt and a small amount of green vegetables put through the blender every day. Dogs on such diets have lived into their 20s Cats into their 30s. Take care.

[@amymack1954]

@@elmafudd9703 My Yorkie (who will be 15 in August) has to stay away from organ meats, because he has had pancreatitis in the past. I make homemade food for him and for my Silky Terrier: plain white chicken with carrots, green beans, spinach, plain rice and a splash of salmon oil. I'll try putting a little plain yogurt in there. Thanks for the tip!

[@jeffreyorich]

I adopted two airedale sisters, Bella and Baeden, this january. They are my firts airedales, and even though they have been and can still be a challenge, I love them both more than any dogs that I have ever had. My wife and I call them Poppy's puppies. They are hardheaded but loving, and never a dull moment. I am a forever airedale fan now, and I really don't think that I can go back to other dogs!

[@jbugger66]

Ahhh, this is great! Airedales are the best!

[@GORDONDALTON]

Thanks for the video. I had a female Airedale terrier from 3 months, and a good friend to one of her cubs. Now is the 3rd generation, I love this race, for me it is the King of the Dogs, is the Emperor. I never knew a race so versatile, intelligent, easy to teach and such a good friend, except perhaps, the German Shepherd but he drops a lot of hair lol

[@locky5]

I have an 10 month old Airedale and he is great! This is a great video!

[@cypher_woods_airedales7522]

This is my favorite video on the entire Internet. I could put this on my big-screen TV and just loop it all day and I don't think I'd ever have another sad moment! I share it on Facebook from time to time, just so others can share the joy. We got Bannon, our first Airedale for our son for his 13th b-day (He's 35 now) and when my own "forever dog" died I got an Airedale (Saylor), and have lived happily ever after. When I am asked to choose one word to describe an Airedale, that word is "EXUBERANCE", and this video captures that fully. Thank you so much for sharing it.

[@joycegardiner1004]

What a wonderful video.I am in love with the beautiful snowey faced animal.He looks so alive,happy and free spirited. I dont have a dog but would love one.need to be living somewhere where a dog can be so happy and have the time to enable my dog to be like this one.

[@anitaverheul7653]

Piper departed today 2 and half months shy of his 15th birthday. He loved winters running at Long Beach in Rockport, Massachusetts. He had the energy of a puppy till he was ten and still loved to move about til the day he died. I will miss you good friend. I know you're somewhere better now doing what you loved best. Rest in peace my dear friend.

[@RickSchnellmann]

Great job on putting together this video, Great footage, editing and music/theme. Really cute. And what beauty of a Dale. His happy go lucky, clownish character defines the breed.

[@georgemontgomeryward7864]

I know everyone has their own breed but this was mine. I had 3, beautiful Airedales. Wonderful and loyal companions. Luckily my dogs were always welcome to my friends house well behaved and trained easy. The key is love, daily walks and or exercise and you get the best dog.ever.

[@bilbilly625]

Totally agree. Walk your dog (especially an Airedale) for at least an hour every day. If you cant commit to that dont get one. They deserve it and its their time to have fun.

[@suckerbeagle]

And no dog is more graceful or funnier than an Airedale. You go, Piper, long may you wave.

[@Bynggo]

Lovely dog. Just dealing with the snow on the beach - can't get a picture of that in my mind. How exciting. Certainly not something we see in Australia.

OMG. I love Airedales and have been looking for a rescue dog to join me. I looked at the animal shelter today and only saw pits. I love pits and would take one in a second but they're banned where I live (Ontario, Canada). I was so disheartened and found my way to this video. I was thinking about how wonderful my Airedale Jet was, when I scrolled down to see the name of my first dog, and best friend, Piper. The combination of Jet and Piper was too much. guess I'm going to look at Airedale rescues!

@portair12 That's Rockport, Mass. on a beach called Long Beach. In my experience the males tend to have a little more personality and warmth to them but that might be an overgeneralization based on the small sample of dogs that I grew up with. We had 4 or 5 males and 2 females over the years.

Hello Michelle... Airedales are brilliant dogs, great companions... I have two.. Jack is our 6th and Phoebe our 7th. Theodore Roosevelt said of Airedales, 'The Airedale can do anything any other dog can do, and at the end of the day whup him if he has to.' They are not aggressive dogs though and are great companions... Go online and find a book called 'A Ride in the Sun,' by Peggy Iris Thomas.

[@007JHS]

Since posting this Airedale Jack has passed away.. We still have Airedale Phoebe and now also Airedale Riley

[@marcjtdc]

They have very strong abdominals!

[@shelbysparrow7506]

I have grown to be extremely fond of this breed and good thing too because I have to pick and choose my dogs carefully since my mom has allergies and asthma. Right now we have a mini schnauzer and toy poodle. Her body doesn't even realize they're in the house.

[@jca5645link]

Fantastic video! I'm crazy about AT, but I'm doing good to keep my Mini Schnauzer in line. I'd need a month of training from C. Malon to handle an AT!

I might get an Airedale and if I do I’ll be back to this video and give an update

[@jamesrice8560]

Looks like a frisky Airedale at the Oregon Coast.

[@Regnbuesolv]

@StefyStuff It's more a clip to make the airedale owners (like me :D) smile and feel proud of their fluff ball lying in front of the fire ;) but trust me, they are kings of the TERR-itory. Like a terrier.

[@magrinirodrigo]

I love the music....... and of course the dog! Please do you the name of the music? THX so much

[@PaxAmor1]

"Here Comes the King"! It's the old Budweiser beer commercial theme song from the 70's.

[@nimlil]

@StSimonMartyr Sounds like you read one article vs thousands of articles and and competitions where they compete at the highest level. Now sometimes they are a little harder to train due to thier selective hearing but once on thier game they are on. They are incredibly strong pound for pound and quite determined. They don't like repedative training as they can get bored from it so it can make some people frustrated if they can't work with that. But everyone has thier favorite breed they like.

[@nimlil]

@StSimonMartyr We are going in circles. I will just say not all airedales are game. but the ones I've owned/worked with don't back down or run ( the coyote an bear both found out ). They do not how ever listen when you want them to, they do have thier own time table. They also are easier to live with then some other terriers as they aren't so wound. Having lived with 3 types of terriers previous I do have first hand experience. I will say I have not lived with an APBT but am looking at a Bull.

[@adamdoucette4394]

my airedale is so active...but we always have to keep her on a leash or she runs away :(

Great vid. Where is this place? I want an AT. But i dont know whats best male or female? Thanks

[@dmsentra]

I don't think there can be that much weight variation in a litter, but there are very large strains of Airedales. Check out Ourang for one. Our late pup was just under 100 at 3 years and not overweight. He came from High Country Airdales and was just a fantastic pup.

[@Norman_Gunstan1]

Does the dog have an ecollar on?

[@martzenvandenbroek]

The Welsh!!!

[@KramerUSA]

Quick question for any airedale experts... I have a 5 year old and he is 125 pounds. I've been told by every vet he's been to that he is way over-sized, but he is very healthy. I'm wondering if there are giant forms of this Airedale breed or do they very in size so much that a litter can have some 65 pounders and some 100+ pounders. I've sized him up with many other Airedales in my neighborhood and they dwarf in comparison to him. It's astounding how massive he is.

[@roxannekoller4274]

Yes, they are called Mountain Airedales.

[@izabelijus]

hey i have an airdele and there are so much more in the world not just one

[@SHAMBALLIN78]

Does anyone know of a good Airedale breeder? Twenty years ago we had went through a ex-state trooper in West Virginia that bred them and we lost all of his contact information over the years. Any help would greatly appreciated!

BlankMuthafu CkinBlankBitch I'm looking for a breeder also. I am in north western Virginia. I prefer the short haired Airedale though.

[@Misstripthreat]

Where were u???

[@johnkramer4970]

Hi...I've personally never owned an airedale, but my dad grew up with them. His favorite (named Chucky) was 110lbs. He was told that they just occasionally are large and its perfectly normal. Have any pics?

[@SHAMBALLIN78]

They have some that are called "King Airedales" and they are the largest of the breed. Our female weighted around 160lbs. She was not fat at all just a very big dog and everyone that lived in our neighborhood and knew Molly called her a gentle giant.

[@siren_gaming8565]

What is the song

[@nimlil]

@StSimonMartyr There are countless articals about them being used for killing badgers, Hunting wild Boar or using a pair to tree cougars after hounds corner em. If you are interested, best to look up breeders that breed for hunting instead of the usual show breeders. There are plenty. These breeders use Airedales today for this purpose and swear by them. Obviously most breeders for show do not use the dogs for their intended usage.

[@elihenry]

This video is great fun and the music is perfect for the jaunty Airedale personality. So I scooped it (go to scoop-dot-it and search for Airedale Terriers. KZbin won't let me put the link here)

[@theodore671]

I used to have a great airedale puppy called Teddy but, unfortunately, i relocated in france so i had to sell him :(

[@imperfectme125]

What is this song called?

[@portair12]

Thanks for the quick answer. Thats a beatiufull place, and the snow makes it better. I had a bad experience with my last dog, a golden retriever. He was a male, 'very alpha', and bad temper. I wasnt lucky with him. He received training for a long time but he only got better in some situations like basic instructions. Well, what i want to say is that i now think twice before getting an animal. I love AT. But never had one. Im more inclined towards a bitch now, i have to say. On the web, i saw lo

[@nimlil]

@StSimonMartyr Well, I have personall experiences with over 50 of them as well as having read hundreds of modern day articles that seem to say otherwise. Sounds like the article you are refering to is an old one. Also if you want to go tru Terriers then Pits qualify less than Airedales. Regardless, to each thier own. All dogs and breeds are great in each thier own way. Right now I have a mixed Lab/Shepherd/Newfie and who knows what else cross that we rescued who is a wonderful family member.

[@barryluck3792]

Personally l prefer Jack Russells but great video anyway 🇬🇧

[@nimlil]

@StSimonMartyr Well I guess we will agree to disagree. I have the experience vs your reading a couple of articles. I can and will atest to thier gameness vs other breeds, some that are much larger. 1st hand experience with tackling a full grown black bear as well as a coyote. Will say my latest cross breed also punished 2 coyotes but he is literally twice the size. Regardless, the airedales I have worked with and/or owned have shown as much game as my old Kerry's and Welsh, just not so wound.

[@StSimonMartyr]

Truthfully, there arent. Those pitted against Badgers proved abysmal and other dogs were then used. Boar-Curs, Jagds, Plotts even Drahthaars are used much more widely by hunting establishment in USA, Australia and USA. And they were neer used much in hound packs, as many were dog aggressive, ran Trash game, werent cold nosed, they also ran hot and lacked good endurance. Very few hunters actually use Airedales any longer and theeir reputation is old and tired. Many dogs eclipse now them.

[@StSimonMartyr]

Airedales are not true terriers in GRIT, Gameness or conformation. Half hound, half terrier..the PIT remains the King in heart and in spirit

[@nimlil]

@StSimonMartyr All I can say is you should't get an Airedale as they don't seem to be the dog for you.

[@StSimonMartyr]

The Airedale does not compete in any US venues..protection, hog bay contests, blood tracking or Retreiving..because it cant. The author wasnt proven wrong, it was based on his personal experience. 'They came to me with a great reputation for Gameness, but out of fourteen that I have personally tried at badger and fighting with a bull terrier of 241b., I have Never found one game - at least, to my idea of the word". The Dale is not game as many terriers are. It is a hound cross & why

Tell me you are kidding. As a kid I had a standard poodle that whooped my neighbors Airedale. Take a look at my terrier videos. Then you will see pound for pound.

[@StSimonMartyr]

Yes, but youve never pitted them against badgers, cougar or coyotes..or other dogs for that matter , and the author and his interviewees DID... They are lovely dogs but need an insurgence of grit erhaps from outcrosses.

[@nimlil]

@StSimonMartyr Sorry to say but you again have no experience in the matter. With no hands on your comments hold no wieght. There for not valad with no reason to continue. The airedale in question was not twice the size of the coyote nor twice the size of the bear. There was no backing up in any of the ones I owned and I have the comparisons to back it up. My present dog is easily dbl the size but there is no terrier in him. And with a bear present he is much more cautious than my terriers were.

[@Shotsnonstop]

where do you get ur dog groomed? the dump?

[@smederevac79]

Nice vid of a nice dog but he is not the king of the terriers but APBT is ;)

[@StSimonMartyr]

Airedales are not Game in any sense...certainly not in the pits, not in serious protection roles and not hunting. If you want a game terrier, look at a gamebred Pit, a Jagd, a Patterdale. Those are game dogs. Ive hear firsthand from owners of Airedale from Hunting kennels run FROM coyotes and javelinas. Ive hunted 35 years and have never seen airedales in any packs. They run hot, run trash, lack nose, lack gameness of even a good Plott, and many are dog aggressive which is abad fault

[@StSimonMartyr]

American Pit Bull is the real King of Terriers... Airdale is a hound/terrier cross, and is neither fish nor fowl. I wish they could really work, Id own one. But instead I have a Drahthaar and Czech bred German Shepherd and they DO work.

[@StSimonMartyr]

Delivering messages isnt a courage test... Most Airedales in war were suicide dogs, Starved and trained to go to tanks for food, and loaded with explosives which were then detonated. By Russians especially. Airedales were never used in the fght Pits as they were a laughingstock. The good Pits are GAMEbred, and are Used in the pits and to Catch Hogs. Airedales do neither. Nice pets though.

[@StSimonMartyr]

That article was based on experiences with 14 Airedales... Im sorry mate but they are very overrated and as a breed about destroyed. Tey live off a tired reputation almost 100 years ago. Other breeds eclipsed them.

[@StSimonMartyr]

There are NO Hunting Aireldaes left. The Breed was a Flop in that capacity. Again, Most Dales were used to find sick or dead. Involves no courage, but trained with treats. The Dale is no jack of all tradesand no real terrier. 'Airedale terriers are a Failure. The result of my experiences of them is ..out of 14 that I have personally tried at badger and fighting ... I have never found One game - at least to my idea of the word" Section of The Dogs Of The British Islands", JH Walsh

[@StSimonMartyr]

The hardest and'gamest' of Airedales tuck tail & run FROM danger. They are NOT Catch Dogs for Hogs like Pits, Bulldogs or Dogos. Even Jagds will catch hogs 10X larger. Airedales wont. Even those the same size. They may tangle with Coyotes they outweigh by more than double but that is about all of their usefulness. The Breed is a laughingstock and in shambles. Im being honest, the breed needs a resurrection with serious hunting breeders if its to ever restore any greatness it once had.

[@Aris262]

If this wasnt posted 7 years ago...I would say how much you were talking out your ass and have no true knowledge of Airedales and how you are sniff the ass of pitbulls too much but...no real point now. -shrugs-

Aris262 ....I was thinking the exact same thing. Dogs, crossbred, or purebred, all have their own personality. An avid fisher friend had a Lab Retriever ( beautiful dog) that wouldn't go in the water.
