Baden's Working Airedales 

The Airedale Terrier, once prominent and respected as a Working Dog has in approximately the last 30 years, slipped into history.
Many of the old lines have all but disappeared leaving way to the useless show dogs of today. Fortunately a few devoted owners continued to breed for a particular purpose, not just for show or profit and maintained the rugged Terrier.

In the war years the Terrier was as a working dog. They were widely used in Germany as messenger and scout dogs.
In France, the police employed a corps of them and they were used along the river Seine to rescue people from drowning.
In England, where they originated, they were mainly used for their hunting capabilities while at the same time being capable of being a family pet.
These are just a few of the jobs they have been given in the past.

The Airedale Terrier adapts well to the heat and cold and has a keen sense of hearing. The Airedale Terrier is known for it's devotion to his owner and it's intelligent. This intelligence is displayed in its work, from guarding children to working with various agencies.

The Airedale Terrier is again taking his place as a Working Dog, tried and true, brave and stable.

Shown below are photos taken of some of Baden's Airdales at work.
