how did the Airedale x grey go penny ? , and  think you said before the Airedale  you use , are better than the show stuff we got here, are they a USA   line something like that ?  

The Airedale lurchers aren't actually Airedale cross Greyhound as their sire was a generations bred coursing dog, but mostly Saluki, which accounts for why they are much more finely built than a straight Airedale/Grey cross. I have been very happy with them overall: superb noses and hunting ability. Both retrieve and take all quarry, so long as they can catch it: they're hardly the fastest things on four legs, but their strike and commitment more than make up for a lack of speed. As general mooching, hunting and lamping dogs they are great, and go through all cover like a knife through butter.

Yes, that type of Airedale is known as a Redline. Often much smoother coated and boxier in shape than the other American types of Airedale. Very multi-talented dogs, as at home retrieving feather as they are at treeing large game. If I'd been younger  I'd have imported a dog to go over Dill. Sadly she died at 8 years old from cancer, and my heart wasn't really in it as there didn't seem to be much interest in working Airedales in the UK. They're better off over the pond where at least they can be used on a variety of larger game. I wouldn't say they're that popular over there either: it is hard to introduce a new type of dog to people who are set in their ways: think scent hounds for hunting large game, or, over here, Labs and Spaniels in the shooting field.
