The Airedale is a hardworking, self-sufficient, and athletic dog with a lot of drive, energy, and stamina.

The Airedale Terrier is not suitable for apartment living. They are very active indoors and require at least a medium-sized yard.

This is a good breed for children because it is playful, energetic, and affectionate around them.

Airedales were bred for active work, so they require a lot of exercise. They must be taken on daily long walks.

Grooming should be done on a regular basis to keep the dog's coat in good condition.

The Airedale Terrier quickly grasps what is expected of it.
