Elza gave birth to our I-litter September 18, 2020. She did an amazing job and from the very beginning she showed her strong maternal instinct that her mother Isi also had. 11 puppies was born, but sadly 2 puppies were stillborn and one weak and small female passed away after 2 days. In the puppy box we have 8 wonderful puppies, 5 females and 3 males. Thank you to Pia Gerdin for letting us use your amazing boy Kaschpa! I also want to send a big thank you to Elza´s owner Maria Juslin for taking this journey with me, without you this would never been possible.

We have had a tremendous interest in this litter and most puppies are reserved to working homes at this point. It’s not a matter of interest, but we are still waiting for the very special home for a male or a female, with owners who wants to work with their dog in some kind of dog sports or practical hunting. If you think you are the one you are welcome to contact us.

Our working Airedales have been doing some working lately, and I am proud to show off some of their results. These dogs primarily lives happy lives as family dogs and loyal companions, but thrives when being worked with in dog sports and doing what they were bred to do. I know their owners have put down many hours training and working their dogs, and I am happy to see they are getting results for their effort. Big congrats on your success, and well done!

Wayosi Faolan Ferris ~ Ferris
Owner Rune Horvli, Norway
Blood tracking trial, ordinary test, open class (AK): 1.prize and best dog of the trial. 
Ferris is being used in practical hunting and show great potensial as an allround hunting dog. He is used as an off-leash hunting dog in deer hunting with great success. He drives the deer towards hunters lying in wait, and show a great compromise between independent off-leash hunting dog with obedience towards his owner giving him a shorter radius which is convenient in the very harsh and steep terrain they hunt. He is also showing great promise in baying elk and hunting fox, badger and other small game. He has also put down a great application as a tracking dog for predatory game such as wolf and wolverine. I am so happy to see an Airedale being used in practical hunting, and I want to send a big thank you to Rune for giving Ferris all this great adventures!

Whether a dog’s life is short or long, it’s always hard to say goodbye to your best friend. Today we had to make the difficult decision to let Isi go. This autumn she has gotten in increasingly worse condition and it turned out that she had poor liver values and an enlarged liver with areas that may indicate that the liver is no longer functioning properly. I have promised Isi that when her eyes is no longer filled with joy and expectation, I will let her go. And that day came today. Rest in peace the world’s best little terrier, they probably need an “auntie cruel” in the dog heaven too. Thank you for everything Isi, you were everything I hoped for and 1000 times more. 

I waited a long time for Isi and from the moment I picked her up in Germany I knew she was all I ever wanted. She always did the best she could with an enormous will to please. I have lost count of how many people who have met Isi and ended up with their own Airedale, even though the breed never was in their mind. She was just that kind of dog you couldn’t resist, she was the most happy and kindest little girl. In the training field and in the competition arena she was in her element, and often we got to stand on top of the podium. Our house is empty without her and a big piece is missing. There will never be anyone like her.

Our H-litter saw the day of light August 28, 2020. This is a very special litter for us, and it turned out to be a quite exclusive one with only 4 pups. We have 2 boys and 2 girls born in 5 hours and weighing from 625 to 750 grams. This is by far the largest puppies I have ever gotten, and I am happy Pippi managed to give birth to them natural. I guess they have had enough nutrition while in the womb 😉 We are still waiting for the very special owner for one of the girls, if you think you are the one you are welcome to contact us.
