I have tried some airedales and wish they were everything you read about in old books but I think it is sadly just not true.

Here in the usa there are not many people working airedales pure. If you seen a really good Black Mouth Cur you would understand why.

Jawn come on out west to Oregon.... We got some that will run a track for you. Tanners Kracken dog has run several tracks over 600yrs. It would be awesome if you could drop off some little Jagds too as all the ones I have seen or owned were much to large.

If you cross a good lurcher to a tall good hound you have what I think you are looking for.

I do not know the man. it was all bs.

Seems like a man named Pittman posted it as a dog he knew or owned. I lived in Oregon for a long time and ran with houndsmen but only had a couple my self I always hunt terrier and lurchers.

Dan where did you get the picture and the false information. was it from the Big Game Houndsmen site? who made the original post?

All are over 24"tts

Its not the tracking we had a problem with. we used Walkers, lurchers just there to push hard after the jump. problem was we never got more bobs with the lurchers. they tree well and track and tree coon and such but they can't course in deep snow. A good med sized Walker with long legs is the best for bobs.

I run. lurchers in the USA. for running in the trees you want a short back and heavy rear. better at turning and acceleration. should be interesting cross.

There is a nephew of his that dose hunt bobs and such he is a, Grey/ Bull/airedale x Stag/airedale male crossed on a Plott hound. He is super good and really gritty at about 50lbs.

As far as I know they are the only two left. The first litter there are only two left too they are about 7. Hard as nails but short coat and smaller.

Bird.... he is really gritty and what ever he catches up to dies. he has never seen a bob but he would kill one. he drew an otter the other day damn thing was mean as hell.

His name is Boone and he wasn't even a yr old. make sure of your info before yoy start posting pics of others dogs on the net. I ask you not to post my pictures other places!!

We ran bears to get them to tree ASAP. lurchers are not good at running cats. once the bob was jumped the lurchers would try to course it but in the snow they just ended up loosing steam.
