What to Look Out For

One particularly bad habit of airedale terriers is that they eat anything and will become sick if you don’t keep an eye on what they’re eating. My airedale terrier especially liked to eat balloons and serviettes. Airedale terriers are also known to love chasing cars. It’s best to discourage this behaviour as soon as it happens. Airedale terriers also particularly unfriendly to strangers until you give the OK. Because they have excellent hearing, an intimidating bark, and are very protective, airedale terriers make good guard dogs. Airedale terriers tend to do better in warmer climates because they like to have lots of space to run around outside. If you live in a country like Canada, where the ground is covered with snow for much of the year, an airedale terrier may not be the best kind of dog for you, unless of course you have an enormous house for your dog to run around in during the day. It’s a tragic thing when airedale terriers are neglected because their owners hadn’t anticipated how much care and attention they require. I used to own an Airedale terrier. My Airedale terrier was a great dog but he’d to drive me crazy with his strange habits. He would always manage to catch the neighbour’s ca and kill it and then leave it on our doorstep in the morning. Then we’d have to bury the neighbour’s cat in our garden and pretend we didn’t know what happened to it when they came by to look for it. Cat killing is a common trait among Airedale terriers, so it’s probably a bad idea to get a cat if you already own an airedale terrier and vice versa.

Airedales do like to run around and get exercise, so don’t buy an airedale terrier unless you know you’ll have time to take it out for lots of walks or have a big yard for it to run around in.

Airedale terriers get along especially well with Maltese terriers, because they are both very gentle animals. In my experience, fox terriers are not as good a match with airedale terriers. Because fox terriers are such excitable, energetic, and possessive, they may end up terrorizing your other pets in a battle for your attention.
