He has excelled in being a hunter for foxes, badgers, weasels, otters, water rats, and ducks. The Airedale Terrier makes a good jogging partner because of his athletic physique. His owner should be strong and confident who can combines firm discipline with patience and precision. Good with older children he makes a loyal family pet. Not an ideal apartment dog, he should have a fenced yard.
