Airedale Terrier [Hardcover]

Hugh Owen (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: January 18, 2001

Originating in the valley of England's Aire and Wharfe Rivers, the Airedale Terrier rightly deserves its moniker "the King of Terriers." A multi-talented and versatile superdog, the Airedale possesses the gameness of a terrier along with the retrieving and hunting abilities commonly associated with the sporting breeds. The tallest of the British terriers, the Airedale Terrier stands about 23 inches at the shoulders and is 100% athlete, a well-muscled, strongly boned working dog that has served in the military through both World Wars. Today the Airedale Terrier resides in pet homes around the world, highly regarded for his affectionate temperament and sweet nature as well as his ability to protect the home.

I was on a waiting list for an Airedale Terrier for over 6 months so while I waited I ended up purchasing several books to educate myself on the breed and what to expect. Here are the 8 books that I purchase from my most favorite to my least favorite along with my review.
1. Airedale Terrier - A Comprehensive Guide to Owning and Caring for Your Dog, by: Bardi McLennan. 155 Pages. Color Pictures.

If you are going to own one Airedale Terrier book, this is the one to own. It is filled with information such as the History of the Airedale, Characteristics, Breed Standard, the Airedale Puppy, Proper Care, Training Tips, Health Care, and Showing. It filled with lots of color pictures and good information.

2. Airedale Terrier Today - Janet Huxley 174 Pages. Color Pictures.

3. Airedale Terrier - Pet Owners Guide, by Janet Huxley. 80 Pages. Color Pictures. This is a condensed version of the books listed above. Still an overall great book.

4. Airedale Terrier - A new Owner's Guide, Betty-Anne Stenmark. 158 Pages. Color Pictures.

5. Airedale Terrier - An Owner's Companion, Mary Swash and Donald Millar. 168 Pages. Black and White. In addition to general Airedale information, this book also provides information on the Airedale Bloodline listing some of the top Champions and Airedale breeders.

6. The New Airedale Terrier - Jun Dutcher and Janet Johnson Framke. 276 Pages. Black and White. In addition to general Airedale information, this book also provides information on the Airedale Bloodline listing some of the top Champions and Airedale breeders.

7. Airedale Terrier - A complete Pet Owner's Manual. 93 Pages. Mainly Black and White.

Not rated:
Airedale Terriers (Pebble Books). This one is a children's book and has a dozen or so color pages.

All in all, the information contained in these books are similar in nature. In my opinion, the ones rated towards the top are the most comprehensive.

As a last note, I finally have my Airedale puppy and it was worth the wait. He's the best dog ever!

I purchased "Airedale Terrier (Comprehensive Owner's Guide) to help prepare me for my
new Airedale pup.

The info I learned gave me a good idea of what I getting myself into and how to
deal with the turbo-charged bundle of energy my new pup provided.

This book will be kept on my reference shelf as a guide for the future.

Everything that a new owner needs for the selection, care and feeding of an Airdale
are provided in this excellent book.
