Airedale Terrier



The Airedale is the largest of the Terrier, originating in Britain. They weigh 20–33 kilograms (44–73 lb) and have a height at the withers of 58–61 centimetres (23–24 in) for dogs, with bitches slightly smaller. The American Kennel Club standard specifies a smaller dog, approximately 17-20 inches at the withers, with bitches slightly smaller. An oversize American kennel of Airedales, up to 45.5 kilograms (100 lb), is called the Oorang after a kennel in Ohio in the early 1900s. The Airedale has a medium length black and tan coat with a harsh topcoat and a soft undercoat. They are an alert and energetic breed, "not aggressive but fearless.
