Description The king of terriers is a social dog and does well with other dogs, but does not always do well with cats. They are more ideal for an older child that has been around other pets and will not mind vigorous play. They love and crave attention and are very energetic. They are very playful, courageous and protective and they are friendly with most everyone they meet. The Airedale Terrier is highly trainable.
Health They have overall very good health. Some minor problems with hip dysplasia, hypothyroidism, eye problems.
