Airedale Terrier Puppies for Sale

Airedale Terriers are friendly, intelligent, and courageous dogs. This dog breed is versatile. They are hunters, athletes, working dogs, and companions. They are happiest when they have a job to do, even if that job is playing with and entertaining children. These are the largest of the terriers, so they can be determined, bold, and have an independent streak. They do tend to get along well with children, showing a docile nature and patient temperament when they are well-socialized. They have a strong prey drive and can be prone to chase. Redirection and continuous training and socialization can help manage prey drive in dogs, but won’t make this instinctual behavior disappear. These dogs are courageous guardians with an instinct to protect their home and family. They tend to be wary of strangers, but will tend to warm up once introduced provided they are well-socialized. Early socialization and training are important with any dog breed and are especially important with Airedales as they are large, protective, and sometimes stubborn. They also tend to be prone to barking a lot as they will bark to alert you. Training your dog to stop barking early on can help redirect the behavior and train with cues to keep barking to an alert instead of a continuous nuisance.
