Our latest Airedale, Sam, is 13 mos old and 92lbs. His “protective “ trait is really developing. He is crazy about my wife, and fun to watch herd her around while walking him. Once twilight he will sit on porch front legs straight out and rear on deck. He watches. Real absence of barking. Only barks when necessary or just prior to strike. Teeth like a barracuda and jaws like an alligator. But very loving...if that makes sense. And he is a clown!

Great that Sam is doing so well.
You wouldn't happen to know of any Airedale breeders that still have hunting lines going, would you?
I have a breeder nearby, but there dogs are a number of generations from hunting stock.
Thanks,
Geno
