Dog Type: Terrier (The original troublemakers!)

Tell Me More: Airedale Terriers are the largest of the terrier breeds, known for their intelligence, loyalty, and playful nature. They have a distinctive look with a wiry coat and a "mustache." Originally bred for hunting, they're still active dogs that need lots of exercise and mental stimulation. Airedales can be protective of their family but are generally friendly.

Lifespan: 10-12 years (A decade of doggy fun!)

Height: 23-29 inches (Taller than most kids!)

Weight: 50-65 pounds (A hefty hug machine!)

Origin: Yorkshire, England (Where the coolest dogs come from!)

Hair Shed: Moderate (A little shedding, a lot of love!)

Intelligence: Very intelligent (Smarter than your average teddy bear!)

Aggression: Can be territorial, but mostly just a big softie.

Food: Moderate to high (Gotta fuel that furry engine!)

Dog Treats: High-quality treats that are low in calories and high in yumminess.

Dog Toys: Durable chew toys, puzzle toys, and anything they can shake!

Suitability for Children: Generally good with kids, but supervision is always a good idea.

Home Size: Medium to large (They need room to zoom!)

Originally bred to hunt otters and badgers, Airedales have also been used as working dogs, guard dogs, and even war heroes!
