Just got her yesterday Calm, bright, and energetic. Right now im calling her "bitey mcFloorshark". Better names are in consideration. Our 4th.

Does getting a male Airedale neutered calm him down any? My boy is 18 months old (a year and a half) and my veterinarian recommends getting him neutered to calm him down. I asked if it would definitely help and the vet’s reply was, “well it can’t hurt”. I want to do what’s best for Newton and I’d surely like to know that if I put him through surgery it will for sure help. Any male Dale owners that have experience, please help me and let me know.

I have been injured multiple times by my Airedale basically headbutting me. Think bonks in the nose, and bonks in the chin that hurt your teeth. Today my friend bent down to give her a little kiss while she was sitting and she bopped her head up so quick, her head wacked her in the chin. I know it hurt and I feel so bad. I feel like this never happened with my other dogs. Anyone else have the same experience?

GRACIE IS BEING A DOG AGAIN! I REPEAT, GRACIE IS BEING A DOG! Thank you everyone for your support! She's decided to eat and drink normally, is done w her meds, is going out for neighborhood walks at least 2 times a day and just potty breaks 2+ times. She has voluntarily moved to her MASSIVE kennel (4'Lx3'Hx3'W) and will sometimes come lay on our bed with us!!! She's still very skittish around the kids but it's like a switch flipped one day. The stitches from surgery come out tomorrow as well, so hopefully we can go mingle at a dog park soon. We are going to have my friends dog over for "practice" before then. So happy our sweet, shy, stubborn girl is doing better. 🥰

Love our 6 month old boy to pieces, he’s smart and spirited! True to ADT form, he can get into mischief when we’re not watching him 100% of the time (chewing holes through drywall, scraping nails and teeth on hardwood floors, gnawing on furniture, stair banister). My question: When (or will we) ever get to the point where he can be without 1:1 supervision for at least a little while without total destruction? I just can’t imagine having to put him in his crate or gated area every time I go to the bathroom or make dinner for the rest of our lives! We try to follow the “tired dog is a good dog” mentality - day care a few days a week, dog park a few times a week, longest walks possible, snuffle mats, puzzle toys, etc. But when he gets that mean streak/bewitching hour…he knows right from wrong but just doesn’t care.

Does anybody else's babies do this while eating? These babies are almost 10 months and have always done it.

Hey friends, I have been on here talking about out new Dale, Gracie, the one who had to have emergency surgery the day after we got her. She's 8mos old. Ever since she came home 10 days ago, she's basically been posted up under our bed. She won't come out for anything except to potty EVERY OTHER DAY. Her kennel is coming today so she has a better space (not closing door on it) but she was raised with a bunch of other dales. Do you think she is traumatized? Lonely? I've fostered other dogs before, but never owned a dog with this temperament. Suggestions? If I don't feed her and water her under the bed she will not eat or drink, brw. She's going to be a 3 monther, I think. (3-3-3 "rule")

Thinking about getting an Airedale - have wanted one for years. I understand they don’t like being alone and can have separation anxiety. I had a Wheaten Terrier and he was okay when I was away for work (10-12 hours) on weekdays.

To be clear, I think being away that long is not good and may be a factor in not going with an Airedale. There is a possibility I can work hybrid, so that would be - and my wife has a hybrid schedule.

But wondering if there are any owners out there that have an on-site job with a healthy heaping of commute and how your Airedale has managed?

Just saw that Tyler The Creator is collaboration with Convese and is releasing a shoe with Airedales on! Love it!
