First-Time Airedale Owner and Future Mom—Should I Worry About Future Female-Female Aggression?
Hi everyone! This is my first post here, so please reply! 😂
I have a 3-year-old Shih Tzu (almost 4) who has always been the queen of the house. Since my husband and I would like to have children in the near future, we decided to get another dog now so that by the time we start trying for a baby, the new dog would already be somewhat trained and settled.
That dog ended up being an Airedale Terrier! ❤️
Honestly, from day one my Airedale and my Shih Tzu (both females) absolutely adored each other. They play together all the time, sleep together, go on walks together, and we're basically together 24/7. So far, neither of them has shown any signs of aggression or conflict.
However, I'm starting to wonder if I made the right decision. My biggest concern is whether they might start fighting once the Airedale reaches adulthood. I've read that terriers can sometimes be challenging with other dogs, and there isn't nearly as much information available about Airedales as there is for other breeds.
Now that I'm thinking about getting pregnant in the future, I'm feeling a little nervous and would love to hear from people who have experience with adult female Airedales living with other female dogs.
I'll share some photos! 🩷
Any tips, advice, or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated! Also, when do you recommend spaying a female Airedale?
Thank you so much! 🫶🏻🌸
