Breeder's Corner
This section of our web site is designed to stimulate discussion and
correspondence among Airedale breeders about breeding issues that we
regard as key to the future protection of our breed.
We consider the breed to be generally in good shape with a good supply
of intelligent and responsible breeders.
Breeding issues periodically arise that we are in the position to address and
that is the purpose of this section. We welcome contact from breeders for
ongoing dialogue on these and other issues.
