Airedale terrier (sh)




Dog breed that is the largest of the terriers, probably descended from the otterhound and the extinct Old English terrier.

It stands about 23 in. (58 cm) high, weighs 40-50 lbs (18-23 kg), and has a boxy appearance, with a long, squared muzzle. Its coat is dense and wiry, with a black saddle and tan legs, muzzle, and underparts. Intelligent and courageous, powerful and affectionate (though reserved with strangers), the Airedale has been used as a wartime dispatch carrier, police dog, guard, and big-game hunter.
