Welcome to kennel Wayosi
We are a small-scale breeder of Rhodesian Ridgeback and working-line Airedale Terrier (leistungszucht) located just outside of Oslo, Norway.
Our priority is functionality and health, achieved through thorough assessments including mental evaluations, working trials, conformation evaluations, and health screenings.
Airedale terrier puppies
We are not planning any litters of Airedale terriers at the moment.
Please feel free to contact us for recommendations for other serious breeders who prioritize mentality and health.
