Good luck with your plan though.
  4. Have you come into contact with the working type before?
  5. I must admit I've only had experience of one Airedale, but that definitely isn't the case with mine, but of course I've not tried her on boar, bear or cougar. I doubt anyone would want their dog to go one on one with something that large, but smaller, toothed quarry is a walk in the park for my bitch, though it must be said that she's not fast enough to catch one s/h in the open.So will your puppies come with the same promise that they won't let you down,or will there be the same clause that if it does it needs another year or you did something wrong entering it.Brian plumber springs to mind

  18. Yeh maybe, but I'm sure there are guys on here who know more about the lines, I could ask my old man if he knows, he's retired to France now, so he prob hasn't had contact for a while, but he knew max well, I'll call him tonight & pm you if I find out anything useful
  19. Have you tried Max's family? My dad was telling me a while back he wasn't well, so maybe not the best lead.....not sure when he last had terriers, but anything descending from what he had may be the best bet......but you probably know this right? ATB
