Origin
The Airedale Terrier originated in the city of Airedale in Yorkshire, England in the 19th century. Airedales were called the King of the Terriers because of their size. They were considered to be the largest of the Terrier group at the time. Even despite the Airedales size, they were known best for the hunting of small burrowing game and water retrieval. Today, the breed has been also used as a police dog, army sentry, watchdog, family companion, and competitive obedience.
