Rose Knowles wrote: I live in Victoria, BC, Canada. My husband and I owned a very special Airedale named Pepper. She came into our lives at 14 weeks when her previous owners were unable to keep her. For 13 years, Pepper went everywhere with us with no questions asked and always ready for fun. I chose this block as dashing off with objects was one of Pepper’s favorite tricks. She never managed to steal sausages from a butcher shop, but her first Christmas she did dash off with the leg of our turkey!
As we were not able to have another large dog, we chose a female Welsh Terrier. We have found that Megan has many Airedale characteristics packed into a much smaller body. We are often asked, “Is this a miniature Airedale?”
