The Airedale Terrier, often called the “King of Terriers,” is the largest member of the terrier family, known for its intelligence, versatility, and confident personality.
This breed is generally healthy, with an average lifespan of 12–15+ years, but may be prone to hip dysplasia and allergies. Regular grooming is necessary to maintain their coat’s texture and health.
Airedales are medium-to-large, athletic dogs with a strong, square build and a distinctive dense, wiry coat that is typically tan with a black or grizzle saddle. Their keen expression, folded ears, and alert stance reflect their spirited nature.
