there were a few that ran with us when I was wee about 14 years ago in and around glasgow. Good looking dogs, game as well. A couple of nippy ones from what I remember.

 

Be good to see some pics if anybody has some.

The second one, wearing the collar, is from the same litter as mine: the bloke who had her is working away a lot and felt he couldn't give her the time she needed so he brought her over to me. She is lighter built than mine but shows every inch as much hunting instinct. I didn't really want two, and although she is coming on really well I do feel that she would benefit from more one to one attention as she is a much more submissive nature than her sister and tends to be a bit in Dill's shadow, though she's happy with her place in the pack: actually a damn sight easier to train as she isn't continually challenging me! LOL

My friends Airedale/Staghounds, vary rough dogs and will kill a yote if they can catch it, but mostly worked w/ terriers catching bolters, marking, finishing, etc., (High Country line Airedale used for cross were hog dogs in Cali.)

 

My bull/airedale X grey, 5 months, coming on strong,(Sandhill line Airedale from Henry Jonson used crossed on a game bred APBT)

Having had and worked Lakelands in the past I would say that these Airedales are a long way from being a big Lakeland. Trainability, responsiveness, intelligence etc: on a par with a really good Collie. Mine are retrieving obsessed, work cover like Spaniels on steroids LOL: if they were bigger I'm sure they would still have a place in any of the forces today: that is one of the reasons GSDs took over from them in the past.

 

People also use them as bird dogs in the States, love water, mine will hold a point on birds even at this age, but go straight in on rabbits: interesting difference. Some sources say that Setter and Pointer went into the mix when the Airedale was created, as well as Collie. I can believe it.

Hey bluecollar. Is that the littermate to my gyp that I sent out there to yall? If so, he is still as racey as ever. My gyp is really racey now too and she might be one of the finest pups I have ever raised in my life.
