Airedale, a valley (dale) in the West Riding of Yorkshire, was the
birthplace of the Airedale Terrier. In the mid-19th Century,
working class Britons created the Airedale Terrier by crossing the
old English rough-coated Black and Tan Terrier with the
Otterhound. The result was an intelligent, hardy dog, adept in the
water, on land, at work, or with the family; their goal to create an all-purpose
dog was fulfilled. In 1886, the Kennel Club of England formally recognized the
Airedale Terrier breed.
The
Airedale was extensively used in World War I to carry messages to
soldiers behind enemy lines and bringing the mail. They were also used
extensively by the Red Cross to find wounded soldiers on the battlefield. Their
courage and stalwart character in the face of danger was legendary; there are
numerous tales of Airedales delivering their messages despite
terrible injury.
Before the
adoption of the German Shepherd as the dog of choice for law enforcement and
search and rescue work, the Airedale terrier often filled this
role.
