Airedale Terriers likely have tan heads, ears, chests, undersides, and legs. Their sides and saddles are black. Many Airedale Terriers have a bit of red mixed together with their white or black chest markings. Because of the consistency of their coats, Airedale Terriers will require regular bathing and brushing.
This breed of dog is awfully active, and should be exercised and played with on a day-to-day basis. Nonetheless it is preferable if the terrier is going to live with a family with older and well-behaved children. A house with smaller pets, for example cats or mice, should likely avoid getting an Airedale Terrier, since terriers are susceptible to chase little animals and the like. They can live alongside other dogs, as long as they’re trained from puppyhood. Coaching itself isn’t an issue . These terriers are playful and keen to learn, as well as constant and protecting of their family.

The dog first appeared in England, sometime in the 18th century. It was crossbred from a Waterside Terrier and an Otterhound. They were originally used to hunt tiny game, and then progressed to big-game hunting and police work. Though the breed has been usually’retired’ from such heavy work, they retain their stamina and determination, and remain good trackers and hunters.
Families that love to spend time exercising are perfect for the Airedale Terrier. It can live with other pets, or be fine living alone. With its seemingly limitless energy, it’s only a question of finding a family that will stay alongside of this great dog.
