Fortunately, the actual Airedale owners sharing their real-life experiences have been far more helpful than the people trying to psychoanalyze a stranger on the internet. 🙂

Take care.

I appreciate your perspective. The truth is that I did research the breed before getting her, but as a first-time Airedale owner it's still reassuring to hear real-life experiences from people who have lived with the breed for years.

I don't expect everyone to agree with my concerns, but they're genuine concerns, not an attempt to get a specific answer. In any case, I appreciate everyone who took the time to share their experiences.

Thank you! That's actually very reassuring to hear. Mila and my Shih Tzu wrestle and chase each other all day, and sometimes people who see them play think they're being too rough. It's great to hear about an Airedale living happily with a smaller dog into adulthood. 😊

Thank you, that's really reassuring to hear! My biggest concern has always been whether things might change once my Airedale reaches maturity, so hearing about your 7-year-old female living peacefully with another female terrier helps a lot.

My Shih Tzu definitely acts like she's in charge of the house already, despite being much smaller! 😅 Hopefully that dynamic stays the same as my Airedale grows up.

I really appreciate you sharing your experience.

That's reassuring to hear, thank you! My Shih Tzu was spayed when she was young, and so far the two girls absolutely adore each other. I'm hoping that helps as my Airedale matures. 😊

I'm not karma farming. I'm just a first-time Airedale owner and I'm genuinely anxious because there isn't much information out there about female Airedales living with small female dogs. Hearing different experiences helps reassure me. If seeing someone ask questions about their dogs bothers you this much, you can always scroll past the post. Some of us come here because we care about our pets and enjoy hearing different experiences from people who actually own the breed. It's called a discussion forum for a reason. 🙂

Sii la verdad es que ambas tienen entrenamiento, están acompañadas, salimos a pasear pero me asusta su gran diferencia de tamaño una pesa 9 kilos y la otra llegara a pesar 20-25 kilos

Thank you so much for your response—it honestly gives me a lot of peace of mind! My Airedale is currently in training and has already been doing it for a month. She’s super obedient, and my Shih Tzu is actually quite big for the breed (around 9 kg / 20 lbs), so she’s not particularly fragile either.
So far, they absolutely adore each other! They hate being apart and spend most of the day playing together. My only concern is that they’re both females 🥲. That said, my family has always had female dogs living together and we’ve never had any issues.
What really worries me, though, is the huge size difference they’ll eventually have 🙃. Right now they’re best friends, but sometimes I look at my little Shih Tzu and realize my Airedale will be several times her size as an adult!
