The terriers are known for being fearless and ferocious when they need be and these qualities make them distinct from other dog breeds. If you learn that this group has what they call a king, would you think this particular breed is extremely ferocious and exasperatingly stubborn? In this case, the answer is no, because the alleged king is extreme not in negative behaviors but in devotion, size, intelligence and versatility.
The terrier group of the canine kingdom is notorious for their viciousness and fearless disposition when it comes to defending their dignity. It's surprising to learn then that this group has a particular breed that they hail as the king. Being a king, however, does not mean that this breed is the most vicious and cruel but instead, it is the largest in size, warmest in devotion, and highest in intelligence and versatility.
The Airedale Terrier came from the valley of Aire, England during the 19th century. The breed was the result of cross breeding between small terriers and Otterhounds by the Yorkshire men of the area. The result of this effort was the Airedale that possesses the terriers' ferocity and keen hunting instincts and the Otterhounds' magnificence in the water.
During the first years of its existence, the Airedale Terrier worked as rodent and bird hunter, otter catcher and game retriever. For the family that owns it, it served as a reliable companion and, because it possesses the natural traits of a terrier, became a superb watchdog. The breed wasn't really popular until the outbreak of World War I when it was discovered that it can be of great use in the battlefields.
During the war, the Airedale became a military dog, peace keeping aid and many other positions in the armed forces and medical organizations. Two great nations, Great Britain and Germany, became the first two countries to use the Airedale as their police and military dogs. All in all, the breed served as guards, messengers and ambulance during the chaotic years of war.
Being a war messenger, the Airedale became very admirable as it delivers dispatches even if its severely wounded from the battles. Many dying soldiers were also rescued among the dead in the battlefield because of this dog's accurate sense of smell. As a guard, the Airedale is courageous and would stand its ground against injustice therefore it became excellent post watchers during the war.
These successes of the Airedale werent kept from the masses and so it became popular among citizens including presidents Woodrow Wilson, Warren Harding and Calvin Coolidge. People also added the title King of Hearts to this brave and devoted war hero and up to this time, the title remains unchallenged. Moreover, since the war ended, the Airedale has been rounding up the dog sports circuit and has won many awards since then.
The Airedale is the biggest of all terriers and possesses a double coat that is course and wiry on the outside yet smooth and fine underneath. It also possesses a distinct densely coated beard and a densely and longer-haired legs. The Airedale Terrier is indeed a true King because not only has it shown leadership in the most difficult of times but everyday, until now, it remained regal and magnificent in its actions and physique. - 20511
