skycat 6,173 Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 (edited) There shite even the american import's that some folk over here are laughed at by the yank's i dont think they rate them either There's plenty of working Airedales in the USA: some may be shite, but there's good as well. Mine is a good one IMO: mind you, she's never had the opportunity to hunt boar, cougar or bear, but she hasn't let me down on our English game and she's flushed everything which is normally shot. Works well for the lurchers too and no cover is too thick for her. Like any breed of dog, you get your fans and your critics. What I can say is that, in my brief experience of the breed, they are a multi tasking dog with great noses, a natural desire to retrieve and the persistence and stamina to work all day, whether that be on the shooting line, bushing or flushing vermin to guns. Good house dogs too. They are slow to mature, and need patience and kindness in training, rather than brutality and they're real people dogs. But I don't know if an English show bred Airedale would be as capable as the working bred ones from the States. Most of the UK bred ones seem pretty brain dead in comparison.
