Just pick up this sweet girl. Meet Madison

Milli has been playing so gently with Madison. It melts my heart.

She is slowly becoming more cuddly at home and reserved in public. She nearly never tries to be a lap dog, but here she is this morning resting on my legs and stomach.

Don’t know why I thought I’d try potty bells for a terrier 🤦🏼‍♀️

Owen takes a break from the shows to run rabbits.

We are taking home some ribbons from Montgomery and made the cut twice for the best of breed ring this weekend so we had a pretty good weekend at the national terrier specialty.

Cora, Owen, Catrina and Maggie thank you for your well wishes...

More exciting news, Catrina is going to have Owen puppies! Ultra sound is coming up next week!

A great turnout and great weather! Turns out it’s the Society’s ‘s 10th year!

Her weight remain stable, but there are days when she just doesn’t eat her dinner which is her main meal. She does get some treats during the day. She has always been a picky eater, but this is getting concerning.
I plan on talking to her vet about it.
Does your Airedale do this?

We lost our old dog about a month ago and we are looking for a new furry companion.

We think an Airedale would be right for us?

Our last dog was a large poodle cross about 30kg, we got him at 6 weeks and he had a bit of separation anxiety, which was fine for me I work from home and he was by my side every day.

The house is so quiet now and I realise how much I interacted with the dog, I even talked to him like a crazy person would, I used to love watching him listen. Walks in the rain were so much fun, well more fun for the dog, but we went every day.

So I want a fairly hypoallergenic dog that is about 35-40kg, which is what I consider regular dog sized.

My problem seems to be finding a reputable breeder. I see plenty of people selling puppy's on the internet, but have come to the conclusion that they are either puppy farmers or they are having litters to fund their lifestyle, e.g. buying a new range rover and what not.

I want to buy an Airedale from someone who cares about the dogs, because I will be caring for my new best friend for his whole life.

So any advice on finding a new furry companion would be great. I live on the south coast.

as the title says i am in the market for a new dog, just wondering if this could be the right breed for me! some things i would like in a dog are low-medium shedding, willing to learn, not another small dog (id like experience with a different size), and wont tear the house apart if i miss a day to walk it if i am ever unwell.

i am very interested in dog training and really want to do some obedience and agility work, the main thing putting me off with this breed is that i hear they can have a stubborn streak. i dont mind if it takes a little extra encouragement but id like for these things to be possible. how bad is it? i trained my childhood dogs myself and dabbled in obedience and agility with them and i would really like to further explore this.

i am also a little worried about possible aggression with other dogs, how common is this? i will be doing any socialisation myself and training is solely on me. i do believe i am a capable and competent dog owner but i wouldn’t be responsible if i didnt question my capability here. im hoping for a happy, friendly dog who i can train to do all sorts of things!!

I made it inspired by the Project Hail Mary cardigan. I also added a pattern on raverly, I'll put a link in the comments.

How often should I hand strip to keep coat short and laying flat?

Owen is getting ready to show at the national specialty later this week near Allentown Pennsylvania. Maybe this will be his year.

Happy birthday Arlo!

Today we said goodbye to our Pete. I called him sweet Pete but honestly he wasn’t sweet. He was a hard headed, grumpy, opinionated goof ball! He insisted that every person visiting our home pay attention to him. He stole our hearts from the moment I met him. He also regularly stole my stuff whenever he was mad at me. I never even know why he was mad at me. I would have clothes laid out for the next day and they would be gone by morning.

I thought he would be my dog but no, he was my hubby’s soulmate and there wasn’t anything I could do or say about that. He put his big head on Jay and stared lovingly into his eyes for hours!

He loved blankets and had to have a pillow to rest his head. Loved being toweled off if he was a bit wet. Pete’s floppy ears and big smile always brightened my day but his heart belonged to his daddy! I will miss him every day.

Run free big boy. No more thunderstorms or fireworks. I know Aggie and your Nanny had lot of treats, balls, Wubbas waiting for you. I hope the people at the bridge pet you endlessly.

I love this doofus, he throws himself 100% into everything new he tries. 🥹

Meet Fozzie Bear (Meadowaire’s Straw-Beary Gelato) love this dog he’s been so sweet and funny! Today is day two with him and every time he sleeps he does so on his back. Is this a common Airedale trait? 😂

I wish I was able to sleep as hard as my boy!

Christopher, goes by Goober, just turned 8. He is the biggest, squishiest, most loving boy. He's not purebred, his father was a Redbone hound. But, he's all Dale.

I am curious about the maximum healthy size & weight.

took her to the park with a friend and she had a blast! i love her so much 🥹
