Airedale Terrier Airedale Terrier

The Airedale Terrier is called the "King of the Terriers" for good reason; he is a fearless, intelligent, and devoted breed of dog. The Airedale Terrier has excelled in many areas of human service, including as a war dog, police dog and a hunter of both small and large game. During World War I an Airedale Terrier won the Victoria Cross for gallantry in the field.

As is true of most of the other terriers, the Airedale Terrier originated from the British Isles. He is most likely descended from the now-extinct Black and Tan Terrier.
