Airedale Terrier puppies for sale in New Brunswick

Breed history

The Airedale Terrier, known as the “King of Terriers,” originated in the Aire Valley of Yorkshire, England, during the mid-19th century. Bred from a mix of the now-extinct Otterhound and various terriers, including the Black and Tan Terrier, the Airedale was developed to be a versatile hunting and working dog. Initially used for catching otters and rats along the riverbanks, they soon proved themselves capable in a wide range of roles from police and military service to guarding and companionship. During World War I, Airedales served bravely as messengers and sentries, further cementing their reputation as intelligent, courageous, and highly trainable dogs.
