Hi all,
I posted a breed advice thread a while ago and thanks to the fantastic responses and suggestions we have decided to get an Airedale. Our basic requirements were a biggish dog with character and intelligence, low shedding and fun for an active family with two kids (5 and 7).
We are waiting on confirmation of a litter from a local reputable breeder which would mean we'd have a puppy home in Feb.
In preparation, do any Airedale owners have any tips or advice? Clipping vs stripping, beard maintenance/cleaning, amount of walks, training methods etc. Or just general Airedale chat!
Ps. Just for clarity I am ready for a high every dog and relish the idea of walks in all weather (honestly!) Plus I'm going to be attending puppy/dog training classes with our pup when the time comes - don't want anyone thinking I'm going into this unprepared - this has been a BIG decision and I'm wholly ready for it!
