    You are correct of course. The Airedale always was an all-purpose dog which means there are specialist dogs better in every area. As a biddable companion dog that will hunt, guard safely and just be good company they are hard to beat though. dogguy

    I do not think an earth dog is comparable, just an alternative working terrier. Heideterrier would be my next choice but that kennel you linked to does not respond to my emails. I also have never been around Heideterriers and understand they vary a lot. The Jagd that I owned was too hard and so have been the couple of other Jagds I knew. I need good sense in a dog. A frozen straw or two only works with a good storage system which I do not have. dogguy

    So it would seem that there are few if any working Airedales about. Oh well, might get a Patterdale in the spring and just downsize a tad. No plans to hunt my Airedales here in the UK anyway but I’d like to have had a pup back from my male since he is a good service/assistance dog for my wife and was a good all-around farm dog in the states. I would have thought that introducing working blood into the UK lines would be enthusiastically sought. Too many “show” people! dogguy

    Airedales! Anyone in the UK have working Airedales?? I moved to the UK from the US with my redline Airedales a while back but have hit a dead end looking for working ‘dales in there country of origin. Cheers, dogguy
