Airedale Terrier Breeders in Canada

History & Origin

Originally bred in England’s Aire Valley during the 19th century, Airedale Terriers were developed as versatile hunting and working dogs. Their original tasks included hunting otters and vermin, serving as police and military dogs, and performing rescue operations during wartime. Known as the largest of all terrier breeds, they earned the nickname 'King of Terriers' due to their impressive size, courage, and adaptability.
