Another fan letter about the site:
Thank you for doing such a great web site!! We are on our second Airedale and are thinking about getting a second Airedale. I am a physician and my husband is a PHD in Entomology so I read your web site like a kindred spirit… You two are also a “Paradocs”. I have also always wanted to have an “Airedale farm”. And you have done it!!! I know nothing about having a litter of puppies but it is one of my life goals. Our last Airdale we had an agreement to breed her once, but had trouble finding an agreeable breeder to use a stud male.
Anyway… sorry for the rambling. What I really appreciate about your web site is the thorough discussion of Airedales and congenital medical problems.
Our current female has seasonal rag weed allergies that end up with about 3 mos of dermatitis and scratching treated w/ oral steroids and antihistamines. I am debating giving her shots. Sounds like this is common in Airedales. Our dogs litter mate recently died of cancer, which sounds like it was a lymphoma at age 4 yo. From your web site it sounds like that isn’t too terribly common.
Thanks for doing a marvelous web site. If we lived closer, I would be driving down just for a tour. You sound like wonderful breeders.
