U.S military used these dogs as their kill dogs in Vietnam and German Sheppards as scout dogs ....very very loyal, very smart (most all terriers are) and can be very deadly.
@sl429 they are very loving and good family dogs but at the same time very protective of there family. i have 2 airedales both male and they extremely protective unless told otherwise. over all great dog
Unfortunately ,I don't think many of the guys using the mals or gsd's know how to work a terrier. Terrier is not as apt to just go along with the program like a mal will. However when you get a dale that's been properly schooled you have one hell of a good dog. Typical of the terriers. Once they get it there's npt much that'll stop em.
How true. Long before German Shepherds Airedale Terriers were patroling the streets of some rather dangerous places. The bite of an Airedale is just as powerful as that of a pitbull. The only true drawback of using an Airedale in police work is the fact they are first and foremost a "people friendly" breed.
It's a shame Airedales aren't in greater use as K-9s. They're so damn good at it! I mean, hello, it's a great big giant TERRIER. It doesn't get much smarter or drivier than that!
sl429 I would like to know if I may , how tall is bear at the shoulder and what is his weight.

Is this typical of most airedales or should one look for certain breeders that aim for this temperment?
