About Airedale Terrier Puppies, Breeders & DogFacts
The Airedale Terrier, originating in the Aire Valley of Yorkshire, England, is the largest of the terriers and earned its 'King of Terriers' title through versatile work as a hunter, wartime messenger, and police dog. Classified in the AKC Terrier Group, adults typically stand 22-23 inches tall and weigh 50-70 pounds, built sturdy and square. Their dense, wiry black and tan coat needs weekly brushing and hand stripping or clipping every 6-8 weeks to maintain texture. Confident, bold, and playful, Airedales are energetic dogs requiring an hour or more of daily exercise and mental stimulation. They make devoted, spirited family companions for active homes with firm, consistent training.
