AKc Oorang type Airedales here only.
My breeding pair are DNA "Clear" from over 300+ medical Airedale variants -breed specific - tested through Embark labs. They are Holistically raised and work on my 30 acre Organic Forest/Farm. - Next breeding planned for Feb. 2025.
Puppies Can go home early Summer.
My Airedales are from the calm, large, 85lb.-110lb. working dog bloodlines. I do not bred the standard smaller Airedales into my Oorang breeding program. This larger size is better suited for multiple working skills needed by ranchers. They are large And sturdy enough to be trained as service dogs as well. Very smart and bond easily with the family. They are adaptable and able to live peaceably around most species of farm animals. They are not, by nature, people aggressive. My puppies are raised around Chihuahuas and Lagottos for friendship, respect, and sociability.
It is usual that my puppies will go to working ranch/farm positions, however, depending on some personalities, some can be assigned to loving gentle people as easy going companions, truffle dogs or therapy working candidates. The large Airedales have shown to be easily trained in therapy dog work also, due to their calm nature and trainability.
With the Airedales, I breed for the square heads with a strong jaw (no pointed muzzles) They are Wide between the ears with strong bodies, medium length of leg for tracking - longer for running- wide hips and shoulders. They have excellent noses and are bred for tracking work.
Wire coats are prevalent 75%, with soft coats occurring 25% approx. Shake and they are almost dry.
The Sires come from strong tracking genetics and gentle personality traits towards family and people. The perfect ranchers friend.
Airedales are not for beginner dog owners. It has been said that "There's a lot of dog in this breed". Ruby, my female is 85lbs. She has a red and black saddle, wire coat and is my perfect companion. She will be bred to Emmett in February/March 2025.
All Puppies are pre-ordered. "A" list. Call to find out more about the old bloodlines and how to get onto the list to reserve a future puppy in 2025.
When I consider a new breeding, I give great thought into bloodlines in order to produce the Healthy, Perfect aligned overall Conformation. Intelligence and strong Physiques are known in my dogs. Temperament is also paramount.
Please Know that I do Not raise my dogs in dog runs or kennels. They are out free with me on our acreage, and accompany me on my rounds. They patrol or just relax in the home.
Also, Please do not ask for breeding rights for puppies as it takes the best in the litter to qualify as a breeding adult. They are determined by critical viewing and assessment over many months. DNA medical testing is also a key component for a great breeder. All my breeding pairs, whether Airedale or Lagotto, are DNA "Clear" to make sure all puppies are "Clear" of unwanted varients.
All puppies are AKC registerable and sold as non- breeders (pet quality). Puppies all receive AKC registered status which is eligible for most AKC sponsored shows and field trials.
