We have been members of our community for many years--My husband, for all his life, and for me, since 1964 when I moved here to teach school. I retired from full time teaching so now I have plenty of time to devote to raising Airedales.

My interest in Airedales was founded in 1965 when my husband wanted to bring home this adult, male, Airedale dog. A family moved down from Alaska and they had to move to town. "Rex", the airedale dog, had to go...either to us or to...well, I won't get into that! Anyway, I said, "An air, what?", as I had no idea what an airedale dog was. I was raised on a farm and we had stock dogs with various breeds in their heritage-- probably some were part Airedale. But I don't think there ever was a purebreed Airedale anywhere in the community I was raised in. So, I said no to my husband, I didn't want this dog. I didn't know what the "Air..." dog was, and besides I wanted a puppy. Well, my husband listened, like all husbands, and brought home "Rex.'' Rex didn't know that I didn't like him, want him, or even know what he was. He immedicatly thought he was my dog ,and of course, dogs, like husbands, always get their way! Rex immediately was my cherished dog until the day he died, and I no longer had to say "An air...what", as I knew from this time on an Airedale would always be a part of my life.

We believe we can raise you an Airedale Terrier that can win your heart the way Rex did mine!
