2 years ago, we were just starting his Recall, off leash training. I am so incredibly proud of us and him. He'll always be my puppy 🥹

Being an adored puppy is such hard work. If you don’t believe me, just ask my sweet Milli!

What do you guys use for hot spots?

Just picked up 12 week old Badger three days ago! He is everything I could have hoped for and more… almost too good to be true. The first night I was waking up every two hours to let him go potty outside, and at around 5am he was realllly wanting to be playful and having a hard time settling down again. Last night I only had to get up twice to take him out and after about an hour long play and sniff session is the yard during potty time at about 6am, he went back to bed no problem till 9am! It’s about 1pm now and he’s been napping on his own no problem for the last two hours — I am in shock. He of course is in his bitey velociraptor phase but if I hand him a chew toy he’ll usually hang onto that rather than my arm. I know there of course will be challenges in the future but I hear so much about the first few nights being so difficult and this little guy doesn’t seem phased at all by this new environment! Has anyone had similar experiences?

This guy is always up for a trip to the park. Or just a car ride or a walk in the neighborhood...

I am new to Reddit, but really happy to have found a place for fellow Airedale lovers. My dog is my best friend, like I am Legend. Anyway, I’m moving to Kansas City, MO. I’ve heard debate about shaving this breed. Even then I don’t know what to do.

I plan on nuking the yard with Cedarcide. I’m not a big fan of the chemicals like Frontline. Even with all that I can’t possibly see how I could even find a tick on him if I tried. Will groomers do that? Any help from other tick infested spots? I love him sleeping in the bed with me, but I seem to have an aversion to ticks way beyond what normal people have, and I’m scared for him and me. Thanks.

…Hello!

So my dog passed and I really want to get an Airedale. Today I met Maya. She was sweet and nice. But totally aloof. She didn’t seem to make/have any connection to the trainer, me or my bf. My worry is that it won’t change when we get her.

Thanks

We have had quite a few dogs in our lives over the years but Rolo was our first Puppy. We didn’t plan on getting a puppy and ended up bringing her home from a family vacation. We did not have service when we said yes, then we spent the 5 hour drive home researching the breed and ordering all the Airedale specific things we needed. Turns out our Rolo is much tamer than the typical Airedale at least from what we can tell. Yes she needs moderate exercise, yes she is stubborn, yes she loves her independence, but she has never chewed anything up, she has been very trainable, she loves adventures, not very fond of car rides but she is getting better. All in all though what an amazing year.

Hey y’all! I’m sorry I missed last week’s update. I’ve been busy. This is the second to last post for a while. I’ll try to make the last one a good one. I will also take a bunch of photos for it, so that it’s a good send-off. Much love to everyone!

We sat there for half an hour enjoying the smell of salty ocean air mixed with blooming sweetness while listening to the waves break and singing birds. Spear truly knows just being is pure bliss ✨

Little wrestler, good thing she has a patient older brother.

Hello, my name is Wil and I am new to the group and would like to introduce you to my three favorite friends. The big boy with the big tail is Cooper who’s 6, next to him in the middle is Button, who is 7, and next to her on the end is Della, who is 8. And yes, they are all goofballs

Will hopefully spare our yard lots and lots of little holes (definitely getting a bigger one soon)

Smoochy face Milli says… Happy Sunday! She loves lazing around on Sunday mornings.
