Andy

My Wife and I adopted "Andy" in September 2013! Andy was 8 years old and was declared a perfect "5" by the vet at 87 lbs. I think he was just BIG, not fat !! The most sensitive, Marvelous, Funny, SMART, Loyal Dog I've ever had the Honor to be owned by !  Unfortunately Andy died of throat cancer in March 2014. He was only with us for about 6 months, but He definitely planted his Big Old Pawprint right in the middle of our hearts and now my Wife and I can't imagine having any other breed of dog. We miss Andy every day that goes Thank You so much for introducing us to such a terrific Dog!  Robert J. McLaughlin

Duchess

We were so delighted to add our first ever Airedale girl to our family 2 years ago. We got her from NWATR at 17 months old and she was just a bundle of life and energy! Although we have loved all of our Airedales, she was the sweetest one we ever had!
She was so gentle, goofy and smart! She loved going for walks, riding in the car, playing with her toys and playing with her Airedale boyfriend Riley.
When we brought Duchess home, it was love at first sight for Riley. He had always been used to his Airedale brother Murray and it was clear from the moment they met that he was in love! Having a female in the house changed everything for Riley and it was fun to watch their romance. Whenever they weren't playing, you could find him laying by her side worshiping her. :) Duchess enjoyed every minute of it!!
They were the best of friends and now we are all feeling the loss of our precious girl that was with us for just a short time. September 5th, 2015 was a difficult day for us as we had to make the heart wrenching decision to put our girl to rest due to having a brain tumor.
R.I.P. our sweet girl, we all miss you so much!
 

Mojo Langley
Every 'Dale is unique. Each brings an abundance of love, devotion and loyalty into a home...and More. Mojo's More was his chosen vocation late in life. At the age of 10 he decided to be my business partner. Retirement age for many but the beginning of a new career for Moj. Every morning as I prepared for work he paced anxiously, checking the clock and my state of readiness regularly. Tardiness was not an option. Finally at the front door, having successfully blocked out the other two furry wanna-bes, he charged for the truck thru the narrowest of openings leaving me stumbling for balance and smiling with a father's pride at his dedication to duty. From his bed next to my desk he greeted all visitors with a nod and a wagging tail. Now there is no commotion at the front door, no dancing feet ready to bound into the open door of the truck, no client that asks where Mojo is today. Only the empty bed by the desk which will remain and my smile as I both remember and mourn the loss of my partner. Terrance Langley Mojo - 11/27/02 to 2/21/15

Paxton

On the first day “Superman” Paxton joined our family, we played ball and went for a walk.   These were his two favorite things to do other than spend time in the kitchen waiting for food to drop on the floor or putting his head in the refrigerator every time that door opened.  Paxton had a great sense of humor and was very bright.  Paxton knew how to spell or at least knew what “T.R.E.A.T , B.Y.E. B.Y.E., W.A.L.K, & D.O.G. P.A.R.K  meant.  Paxton was taught commands in both German and English. 

He was the fastest dog to retrieve a ball when thrown at the dog park.  He looked like the pied piper with all the dogs following him.  He was friendly with other dogs and children; however he protected us and our property fiercely. 

Paxton was very handsome and photogenic.  He was complimented often on his regal look and confidence.  Paxton was blessed to be in the May 2014 Airedale Calendar and June 2015 Airedale Calendar (Brown Trout).  Paxton always smiled because we believe he was happy and loved. 

On Paxton’s last day with us, he was able to play ball with and go for a walk with his “daddy”.  The family and his brother,  Mack The Black Ninja (Rottweiler) were with him to say goodbye and until we meet again.  We love you Paxton.  You made an impact with us and the world.  Our doggie bedtime pray was, “Paxton, sweet dreams, I’ll see you in the morning.  I love you all the day and all the night!” 

Love mommy and daddy.

Gracie

Gracie❤️ passed away the evening of Oct.17, 2014, she was born March 20, 2002.  It's still so hard to put into words what she meant to me.  Gracie was so special, she was a smiling dog, she sang and would also talk to me.  When asking Gracie if something was right, she'd say "WOOF"! She loved to play with her toys, favorite being a Mallard Duck that honked, had to replace quite a few,  she would go outside and bury them. Gracie is missed so much, the walks, looking at the Halloween & Christmas lights, rides in the car and just being right by my side, such unconditional Love . ---- Karla
