What Airedales Are Like: A Video

July 30th, 2008 by Max

A lot of people who are not familiar with Airedales often ask what the breed is like. I think Chip Brown, a national magazine writer, gave the most apt description in a 1990 article for Connoisseur magazine in which he said Airedales have “style, brains, and clownish wit– everything one looks for in a spouse”

Even so, many people still do not know what Airedales are like until they see them in action. Joyce Miller, a friend of mine, an Airedale enthusiast who has worked as a teacher, writer and researcher for 40 years and who maintains a dog educational site called Dear Jubilee, sent me this YouTube video of her Airedales, Kate & Neisha. Kate is teasing Neisha to chase her and it pretty much sums up what life is like with Airedales. You can’t say we don’t have PERSONALITY!

    Kate (2 years), Neisha (5 years), and Hannah (12 years), our three Airedales give themselves their daily exercise by playing the game that this video shows Kate’s side of. By getting the others to chase her, all three of them run themselves out. You can see all three of them at http://youtube.com/watch?v=qyZSXnTVEmA and at http://youtube.com/watch?v=ifEE0vRrglg

    Living with Airedales, as Robin relates in Life to the Max, is an incredible journey with lots of laughs and lots of joy. They are truly joyous souls.
