Let's talk Airedale Terriers
Confident, friendly and intelligent, the Airedale Terrier is also one of the biggest members of the terrier family and a gung-ho all-rounder. These wiry black and tan beauties have turned their paw to a wide variety of missions over the years: searching for wounded soldiers on the World War I battlefields, delivering messages, and serving as police and guard dogs. But, as long as Airedale Terriers get plenty of exercise, they’ll be just as content as a family dog.
