Anyone recommend any Airedale Terrier Breeders?
Discussion
I've wanted an Airedale for a long time and I just thought I'd post and ask if anyone can recommend a breeder?
I'm in Scotland but willing to travel, I'm also aware that most reputable breeders probably wont have litters just before Christmas, as a "present" dog is the wrong reason for getting one, so I am in no hurry.
I've always just liked this breed and the more I have carefully researched, the more it seems to be my kind of dog, also if you have an Airedale please pass on any good info/tips/stories.
Cheers

Lots of fun, very affectionate and protective, totally at ease with him around kids, however the most bloody-minded little bugger I've ever encountered and has an uncanny knack of always getting his own way.

A few things to bear in mind:
During the teething period, they will destroy your house.
No toy is strong enough to defeat them.
They don't moult and their coats are quite thick - you need to brush them fairly frequently and have their coats clipped every couple of months.
Mine hasn't had any major health problems, but I know of others who have experienced hip, elbow and skin issues.
Fantastic personalities and will quickly become your best friend.
