I would certainly recommend them for a rescue Airedale…they have a fenced in yard, and are both very athletic and while not runners, they did say they are in the habit of walking 3-4 miles a day with their dog.
The lab that they mention in their application doesn’t actually live with them. Not sure I understand how that works, but he’s in field trial training somewhere else, and if he’s successful, he’ll spend more time running field trials than living in the home with the family. The wife says he’s only ‘theirs’ because they paid for him. I get the impression she’s a little bitter about that. She wants a house dog/pet. And she is adamant about not wanting a puppy.
They do have a cat that is young and was raised with the lab and isn’t averse to dogs, but the dog can’t be averse to the cat. They said they got the cat to appease one of their sons after their Airedale was hit and killed by a car, explaining that he’s really the animal lover. They weren’t ready for another dog yet.
They do have a small in-ground swimming pool, and the dogs are welcome to use it, or don’t. The pool doesn’t have a security fence, it’s part of the back yard.
They went on to explain how their dog was killed, and they do live near a fairly busy road, but to hear them tell it, the dog was just crazy wild and there was a mis-communication about doors and gates being open, and he saw the opportunity and bolted. And of course being an Airedale had spotty, if any, recall. They have since put in an electronic barrier across the driveway in case that situation should arise again. They are still sad about loosing him and it’s been almost a year. They showed me a pic of him and he was a beautiful dog. He came from Caren over near Pittsboro.
The wife works only two days a week and the husband works seven on and seven off, so they have lots of time. I think they’re both physicians. He’s at the hospital, I know. She didn’t volunteer and I didn’t ask.
Anyway, I think they would be a good ‘Dale family,
Have a wonderful holiday season, my best to Mr. Tuna,
Rhonda

To: Annecy AiredaleHi Mary,
Happy new year and hope you had a wonderful holiday!
I just wanted to follow up on this now that the holiday season is wrapping up. I am pretty much settled in and ready for a house visit. I also have some interest in a few of the dogs you guys recently got – Birdie, Lady and Luda.
I saw some information on the site about Luda and noticed that it said she was an outside dog. Is it possible to/how much effort is required to help them acclimate to an indoor environment? Would there be any more information you would be able to provide at this time on the other two?
Thank you for the help so far!

Good afternoon, Shawnya,We received your application to adopt one of Airedale Rescue Group’s spare ‘dales and I would like to set up a time for a 20-30 minute call next week to talk. Early to mid-afternoon is generally good for me. I could also talk Sunday between 1 and 3.
Let me know what works best for you. I look forward to speaking with you.
