@HockeyGyrl13 and to get things straight, i have nothing against bigger airedales in general, who cares if they do not meet the breed standards if they're not for show, then there's just more to love in them. :) however, an airedale is just an airedale. and google will do the trick for anyone who wishes to learn more about the origin of the word 'oorang' compared to the situation today where people try to advertise their dogs as a separate breed/bloodline/type/whatever from a regular airedale.

@HockeyGyrl13 well then it's just an (oversized) airedale terrier, not a 'working/hunting type', 'oorang' or 'mountain' airedale because those things don't actually excist, it's more than often just a gimmick used by back yard breeders to get buyers interested. just do some research on the words 'oorang airedale' and majority of what you'll find is cheap-looking advertisement for oorang airedales such as "we've got oorangs, come and buy a cute puppy now!" seriously, how can anyone defend that...

Yes, you are correct about the breed standards for the “show ring” but the FACT is they are an AKC dog and Airedale Terriers. What’s wrong with this picture? Mmmmm….

I have Airedales as well, including one Oorang, a beautiful girl who is about 2 and weighs about 120 - and is AKC registered. Oorangs ARE purebred. It is simply a fact that the Oorang kennels and the line that came from them is not yet sufficiently stabilized to set up a separate breed standard (as in full-size/miniature schnauzer or doberman) so the Oorangs get a lot of unwarranted grief from the so-called "purists".
ok so i was a bit vague there, what i meant to say was that i don't think one should market 'oorang airedales' as a separate breed of the airedale terrier because it (officially) is not. for now, if they are larger in size then they do not meet the breed standards and therefore are 'faulty' although surely great pets nonetheless. it's just that often the word 'oorang/mountain' is used by puppy mills to promote their dogs and get attention etc so that's why i find it sad. hope you get my point :)

an 'oorang / mountain' airedale is not a purebred airedale terrier ... it's sad that you have to market it so.
