You must therefore always bear in mind that this is a false calm. In conclusion, if you are looking for a loyal, affectionate and good guardian dog, the Airedale should meet your expectations.

The breed dates from the middle of the 19th century and results from crossings of otterhounds and Old English black, extinct breeds. Originating in Yorkshire, England, it was originally bred to hunt otters and rats. He was and is recognized as the king and greatest of terriers. If nowadays it is mainly dedicated to a career as a companion dog, it is still used as a hunting dog for big game and especially bears in Russia. It is also the flagship of the British police. It is besides at the origin, with the Rottweiler, the Schnauzer and the Newfoundland, of the dog created by the Soviet army: the “Tchiorny Terrier”.

Extremely playful, glue pot, cuddly. Worships his master. Dominant with men as with his peers but sociable and adorable with the animals in his household (including the cat). Good training skills for defense, guarding (as long as you don't let everyone pet him at home). Great flair. Very intelligent, very quick-witted, understands the slightest command at first sight. Knows when you want to play if not keeps quiet. The Airedale terrier needs daily physical activity, long walks and active games. If you are an overly permissive person unable to keep your commands and prohibitions consistent, the Airedale is not for you. He will listen perfectly but only if he respects you and you don't let him dominate you. Otherwise he will become more stubborn than a mule while remaining nice.
