Hoss1 3 Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 Hey bluecollar. Is that the littermate to my gyp that I sent out there to yall? If so, he is still as racey as ever. My gyp is really racey now too and she might be one of the finest pups I have ever raised in my life. Dan, we have a littermate male to your pup also (GH x AD-PB) and he has no problem with the tast of fur. Quote Link to post

I have never seen such "FIRE IN THE BELLY" as I have seen in this lil pup... Not even in my game dogs!! He has a true drive to get the fur!!! I will pm you some pics... I would like to add, every pup in this litter that has seen fur has gone NUTS, Rob Carver did a great job on this breeding and I thank him, you and Scott for getting him here to me !!!!!!!!

adeyhawk1970 0 Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 Skycat im sure if you ever breed airedale/lurchers you will have a waiting list a mile long.I recently spoke to skycat about her working airedale and she took time out to speak to me with great knowledge and enthusiasm about the breed.I would like to say a big thank you,she is a great ambassador for the working airedale Quote Link to post
skycat 6,173 Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 You are too kind sir! LOL Just have to say, I wish I had discovered these Redlines 20 odd years ago: their drive is phenomenal and they don't seem to ever get tired, dispirited or damaged (very important!) Skins like rhino hide and a truly great temperament as well: cheerful easy going dogs at home and great guard dogs as well. Yesterday we were being hassled by an idiot bullock who wouldn't leave us alone and kept mock charging me and the pups: Dill came back from where she was working the hedge, took one look at the bovine fool and charged him, barking and chivvying him until he fled! The moment he had gone 50 yards she wheeled round and came back to me all pleased with herself: bear in mind she's only 10 months old. when she went to go after him again I just called her in sharply to heel: no problem: I don't want her to think that cows are fair game, but she's been brought up seeing them and walking amongst them every day so usually takes no notice. She just took charge of a situation when necessary: something she is showing signs of working out in her head more and more. That's what I like about her: the brains and temperament to think for herself but also the biddability to listen to me. Not saying that they're all like that: her sister is very different, much more submissive and willing to please, hunts every bit as hard but is not dominant in any way. Dill has been hard work inasmuch that I have to keep on top of her all the time: she is a truly dominant dog, very sure of her own power and status, but respects me as boss. Once she's out of the teenage stage we should see a useful animal. And yes, when I eventually do breed, I'm thinking of not just putting a straight Greyhound over her, but a lightly built lurcher: something that has been that way bred for years from worker to worker, along the lines of Deer/Grey and something else: don't care as long as it has been bred from working stock for generations and has a brain and is handy in the field. Blue Collar's pic of the Airedale Stags made me think that this is a far better option than just using an out and out speed machine like a Greyhound. Anyway, that's enough drivel for now: all this is a long way off! Quote Link to post

Guest miller1989 Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 Well im happy to find someone putting up a post about these x breeds because as you can see i have on but didnt know to much about there background! The reason i dont know much is because it was my mates dog before he died,and the family offered her to me to get her the work she was only 6mnths when i got her and hadnt done anything,at 8mnths had her ratting and from there on shes showed herself to be a great dog easy to work with,fast,obidient.strong,friendly just a great allrounder and is a great dog to have,when were out,her speed and agiltity and awarness.... for her quarry leaving the cover is unreal im hoping to pup her in couple of years! hopefully someone can help out too id love to know who bred her, i do know she was from scotland and from a working line but i dont know the blokes name,well i did know but ive forgotten it! it may be the bloke from fife that some had a post about if [NO TEXT TALK] can help pm me thanks!

robbie 0 Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 i recently just sold my redline airedale x whippet i got him from a pal in halifax who keeps this breed he seems to do realy well with his just the one i had from him didnt suit me Quote Link to post
sandymere 8,263 Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 If shes all well ill be out again maybe just after xmas,sick as fcuk! Good looking animal hope all goes well. the airedal cross has allways sounded a good idea and would be interesting to see a 3/4 grey 1/4 airedale as it would perhaps make a good sort.

bluecollar 104 Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 (edited) Blue Collar's pic of the Airedale Stags made me think that this is a far better option than just using an out and out speed machine like a Greyhound. The brindle is 1/2 Airedale the Blue is 1/4.. The stag is a better choice and that is what the breeder of my pup is going w/ next time, more durable than a grey.. The key is to use an Airedale that will jump on a lion or bear w/o hesitation, this is the true Airedale and most now are used for trapping and not anywhere near as gritty as they should be, an Airedale should be tougher than a bulldog smarter than a collie and as durable as a tank... I have seen a lot and only a couple that are what I would call a true Airedale... (Example... If you are hunting hog and they dont catch you are not working w/ the right stuff to make these type of crosses...) JMHO... C.J. Edited December 4, 2008 by bluecollar Quote Link to post
