I agree they sound good. Rabbit probably tastes like chicken! And the baby – it will take a well-behaved Airedale to fit, but I’d approve them.

Thank you, Sue!

I wonder if there is a way the dogs are coming and going. Dog door or open any time door?

Not that I think it makes a difference, just wondered.

I think it would be a rare dog who would not eat the rabbit. Just this week Cherry Berry would have

taken off for a scurrile.

Brave is more measured but I had a heart attack once when he took off for a deer.

Luckily we have 4 inch by 4 inch fencing in the pasture and I could get on his leash.

Whew!!

Since then we have worked at ‘pointing’ as Scarlett the hunting dog did. Brave is

good t that but I would never have him without a leash in the pasture so I could step on it.

Hugs

Bay

/Hey Sue!

Wanted to let you know that I just got back from doing the home visit for Emily Huffman. She and her partner are quite nice.

They live in a semi-rural area; everyone’s lots are at least 3 acres. Theirs is about 6 acres. The surrounding houses looked nice for the most part, as did theirs. I can safely report that their house is “dog-centric”. Almost everything is set up for their animals: flooring, dog doors, bunches of toys, etc. There seems to be plenty of space for everyone.

The backyard is totally fenced and it looks to be secure. There is the pool (and we talked about how lots of Airedales don’t swim); most of the yard area is in pea gravel due to a previous dog of theirs being allergic to grass. That dog is now dead, so they’ve added a small grassy area….mainly for the rabbit, Walter. Who, by the way, is PRECIOUS. Their Lab and other mix pay Walter absolutely no attention whatsoever. I told them that it would be a rare Airedale that would act the same……most would be on poor Walter in a nano-second. They appeared to understand that there might have to be some “lifestyle changes” should they get an Airedale. Walter has his own area and crate and he’ll probably have to stay in it a lot more if an Airedale is on the scene. He was hopping around everywhere we were….between the dogs’ feet, etc. A very nonchalant rabbit. 😊 The cat (who I saw from a distance) is nonplussed by the dogs or the rabbit…..apparently, he goes and comes as inside/outside cats do. The two horses are in a separately fenced paddock/barn area behind the backyard. Only the Lab goes with them down to the barn area.

Renee grew up in Ohio and was very active in 4-H. Her uncle was (is?) a vet and she worked growing up in his vet clinic. She seems pretty knowledgeable of animals in general and dogs in particular. Emily is, too, but I don’t think she grew up/around animals as much. All in all, they know a lot more than most adopters do I think.

I talked to them about the prey drive issue. We touched briefly on the child issue; it’s Renee’s nephew. All I said was that an Airedale would have to be found that could put up with small children…….not all are so “forgiving”. I also told them that because of the rabbit, cat, pool elements, it might take a long time to find just the right-fitting Airedale for them. To that, Emily replied, “If ever” so I think they know that there are some things that might make it harder for them to own an Airedale……things that will take more effort on their part. Because all of their animals are neutered males, I suggested that it might be easier if they thought about a female ADT……but that it depends more on the individual dog than the gender. They really don’t care whether it’s a boy or a girl.

I think they are a responsible couple, with responsible habits and procedures in place for their animals. I would suggest that you ask for a couple of pictures though of their backyard so you can see where the dogs hang when outside. I did emphasize that I wouldn’t leave a new ADT rescue on its own for the first several weeks while it gets acclimated to a new environment, so I don’t think they would just let it come and go in the beginning.

I hope that helps with the selection process. If you have any questions, just let me know.

Thanks for the info, Susan. I’ve printed out their application and will try to get in touch with Emily today to see about setting something up…..don’t know about this weekend as it is Mother’s Day and I already have a commitment on Saturday. But I’ll see how soon I can get it done. Actually, I used to be very involved in Airedale rescue myself, so I’m pretty familiar with the whole process of home visiting. Will keep you UTD on what’s happening…………

Hi Donna,

Thank you so much for doing this home visit for us. I believe these clients are great people and wonderful animal lovers and would do everything for any animal they have. I’m going to send you my notes that I sent to Jackie and Barbara after my phone call. Then her application will follow and I’m also going to attach a Home Evaluation form that you can look over for general guidelines for a home visit. If you have any questions please call me at 910-315-2647. After you have your visit with them you can e-mail me your thoughts. Thanks so much!!!

NOTES:

Ok Emily Huffman called me back this afternoon. I am convinced they are true animal lovers and will rescue anything that needs help. The vet’s office said they are very committed animal people and take every measure possible for their well being.

I asked about leaving a dog alone for 8 hours and she was quick to tell me that her partner only lives 20 minutes from home and comes home for lunch and that she herself doesn’t work too far from home and could always come home. They have a doggy door that her current dogs use to go in out of. It sounds like they live on a huge farm. They have horses also, plus a cat and a big rabbit. They do have a swimming pool that is accessible to their dogs, which she said one loves to swim and the other hates the water.

They have no problems using a crate if needed, they have several sizes at their house.

The possible issues to me would be finding an Airedale that has a very low prey drive, likes kids (they have lots of visitors that have kids and their two lab mixes just let them crawl all over them, as labs always do). I think a home visit should be conducted so that someone can actually see their home and see the interactions going on there. Maybe someone who visits could reinforce how many Airedales have very strong prey drives and that it might take some time to find, if ever, a suitable rescue for them. But I know they would probably give any animal an excellent loving home. The best time for them for a home visit would be anytime after 5 pm or on the week=ends. Do we know anyone in Alabama who could do a home visit with them?
