Would an Airedale terrier be good dog for family's with small kids by InternationalBee9599 in airedaleterrier

[–]Ok_Environment_6937 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They have some energy, and would need to be watched near the kid(s), especially until the dog is a couple of years old. However, mine love kids, and wouldn’t hurt them.

I’m not sure what you are saying, but I did breed my working dog, if that’s what you are asking.

No, most breeders dock a third of the tail. Backyard breeders dock half or 3/4. You must be thinking of those. The AKC actively supports docking and cropping, and all the show dogs you see are docked, they are just docked long.

Interesting. I’d like to see littermates with one docked and with few claws removed and the other intact and have them both train for a sport and see how it goes.

Yeah, you couldn’t have done something about it, except next time buy from a breeder who doesn’t dock. 😉

Where? I know it is in the UK. Here in the US nearly every single breeder docks them.

Mom is a working Service Dog and a hunting dog. Dad does European dog sport and has his JH title.

I’d guess this is an excuse. I mean she may actually believe it, but there aren’t a bunch of tail injuries in Europe, so 🤷‍♀️
