They range in height about 23 inches and in weight from 45 pounds for a small female, to 70 pounds for a large male (20 to 32 kilograms)
On a daily basis, dogs need about 30 calories per pound of body weight in order to maintain their current weight. Small and active dogs can require as much as 40 calories per pound, whereas larger breeds might only require as little as 20 calories per day.
The Airedale terrier is known as the “king of terriers” partly for their size. They are about 60cm tall and vary in weight from 25kg for a small female to 35kg for a large male. The Airedale has a classic terrier head with virtually no stop (forehead), v-shaped ears tipped over and a straight back with an erect tail.
Airedale terriers were originally bred for hunting animals like otters, but are now most commonly family pets.
They originate from England, named after the Aire River, and were bred from other terriers, to make a dog that had a good nose, as well as being a good swimmer, and the drive and stamina to run alongside horses. They are now popular worldwide.
Their popularity grew during the First World War as they made their name as great scent dogs. This included Jack, the military Airedale terrier, who won the Victoria Cross for his services to the British Army.
They are a dog suitable for experienced owners.
They weigh between 20-29kg depending on size and gender.
At between 56 and 61 cm tall, they are the tallest of the terrier breeds, leading to their nickname as “King of the Terriers”.
The lifespan of an Airedale tends to be between 10-13 years.
