| | Dog Owner's Guide: The Airedale Terrier |
 | | The Airedale Terrier, the largest member of the terrier group, is known to admirers as the King of Terriers, but he could just as easily be recognized as the King of Hearts who received his crown for his size, broad versatility, intelligence, and unswerving loyalty. |
 | | All Airedale Terriers are tan or reddish tan in color with a fl or grizzle saddle that often extends from high on the neck over the body and tail. |
 | | Early socialization and training are essential to manage the dominant terrier temperament in a 60-pound body, so it is important to seek out a breeder who not only does the appropriate health screening for the breed, but also chooses breeding dogs for temperament and begins the socialization process from the day the pups are whelped. |
