Newborn Airedale terrier puppies are black, with small brown markings on the tips of their toes and around their eyebrows. As they grow, their hair becomes stiffer and more brown; they acquire adult coats by 6 months.The Airedale terrier, the largest breed in the group, is fittingly known as the “king of terriers.” These intelligent, brave, cheerful, and sensitive dogs make talented hound dogs, police dogs, and military dogs. They also excel at tracking and swimming, which they must have inherited from otter-hounds, one of their ancestor dogs.
However, Airedales are also curious, emotional, vocal, and boisterous; they like to gnaw on things and chase after moving objects, and they remain especially playful and mischievous throughout their life. One owner says, “Whether they are happy or depressed, they react like humans. They are hyper about everything.”
Because of their pride and their energetic behavior, however, obedience training may be a challenge. Also they have strong jaws and large canine teeth, and they can bite and hurt each other while playing.
Stripping should be done about three times a year. Also, daily grooming and regular trimming are required to keep the hair from getting tangled.
