Hi everyone I didn’t know where to go , my Airedale passed this morning we’re assuming it’s to heart attack or something since she collapsed and she had congestive heart failure she lived a happy 12 years she was the best dog I could’ve ever asked for . Does anyone have any tips for grief she’s my childhood dog I’m 19 and it’s very hard
Griffin does this a couple times a week not really sure what triggers it or if there’s a name for it. Different than zoomies. Sorry for the sideway formatting it’s from a cheap webcam.
I have had dogs my entire life, but I haven't had a puppy in 12 years, so I've probably forgotten a lot of the puppy phase. I also haven't had an airedale ever, but I have had small terriers. This airedale has been rough, and I would really benefit from some help. Please be kind. I'm super sleep deprived.
I haven't had a full nights sleep in almost two months. He will go from 10 - 4 a.m, that's the longest stretch with a 10 - 3 a.m. thrown in here and there. So, I'm getting less and less patient by the day. (Yes, I've read every training manual and watched every youtube video on how to stretch this out.)
I'm really hating the way the vet and group training class leader looked at me and said, "oh, you got an airedale, gave me a dirty look, and acted like it was the end of the world. Why? Is it that awful? But, the result/effect was it made me scared of my dog.
The dog BITES and it HURTS and this morning I just sat and cried. I've done the Oww, that hurts for weeks. I stop play, but he bites and comes at me harder when I say owww or as I'm stopping play...so what I'm doing is NOT working.
Is it going to get better? Or, is this just the way it is? I love dogs. I've had goldens, labs, and mini schnauzers, and a doberman. So, I'm not a complete novice, but right now I feel like one.
I've also read through this sub and it scares me that people joke it gets better in five years. I don't think that is doable for me if true. I don't need a big dog aggressively biting me for the next five years. Please give me "truth" without joking around. What does the next year look like with this airedale?
Is it just me or do other peoples Airedales put their paw on your hand when you stop petting them? Mine will actually try and pull my hand back on him if I stop petting him. So demanding he is!
Picture of when he was about 7 months, he’s 4yo now. A very happy pooch.
Please say a prayer to help me get through this “I need absolutely everything in my mouth“ Airedale stage. Because… it is a stage right?! RIGHT?!

Cora is almost 6 months old and her mom is a close friend of ours. We're grooming her up and getting her ready for her first show.. shes a sweetheart and gets along so well with my 3.
Always a good thing when he’s chomping on his carrot instead of my hands.
Hey all, hoping you might be able to point me in the right direction 😀 any ideas on what this little fella might be? Adoption agency thought irish wolf hound, ive been leaning more toward airedale mix, then I stumbled on wirehaird pointers. Hes apprx 6 months old and 40lbs. Let me know what you think or if you have another suggestion. Many thanks!
Zoe is an Airedale Terrier and she is already 9 years old!!! She is SOOO energetic and everyone asks if she is a puppy still. We rescued her from a breeding farm in 2017. She was the runt of the litter and unfortunately the owners of the farm did not doc her tail right. She’s been through so much through these years with us and I am so proud to be her owner and friend ❤️
Love you my big girl!!!!
Brought the lil girl out in town and she was infatuated with the pool table.
GG turned 7 today! She got a new duck toy that she is graciously sharing with her sister! A K9 Ice Cream from a local ice cream place and a ~10KM walk!
Sharing cuz seeing those crisp edges and Phoebe’s deep red color is so satisfying to me! 😍Pretty and soft as velvet! (I do her ears first every time because they go so fast and look so nice. I haven’t finished her face or neck so don’t judge the rest)
