Jackie to Peggy
Hi, Peggy. Again, thank you for your time today. I am enclosing photos of Clyde. I’m sorry some need to be rotated; I tried to save them in the right aspect, but it didn’t work.
Here is everything that we know about Clyde so far:
Compilation of comments about Clyde from Barb Saylor:
Well Clyde is indeed a sweetie. Still not able to get what I would consider a good photo because Clyde wants to be right up in your face being petted or delivering kisses. This is his “why did you stop rubbing me?” look. He’s very friendly toward his furry family here, and our group has calmed down quite a bit.
He really is so sweet and the only difficulty is that he is not at all housebroken so he can’t sleep inside at night. However, the other guys are so glad to see him when they go out during the night that they’re not wild about coming back in.
Clyde is a perfect gentleman—by observing him strolling the perimeter of “his estate” one would think all that’s missing is a comfy smoking jacket and favorite Cuban cigar.
Clyde is that he walks very nicely on his leash
He’s a tad bit on the thin side – although you could never tell looking at all that rich fur, and his teeth look pretty good.
Clyde will be quite a delightful dog for his new forever family. He gets along great w other dogs-male and female. He’s affectionate but not obnoxious–ie not a roundly jumper, etc. He likes his ‘major hug outs’ like his Uncle Z, but does not appear to be overly needy. Fully vaccinated now, all checked out by vet with no noticeable problems, and vet says he appears to be between 2 and 4. And when he wags that little tale you just want to take him into your arms! Impossible to tell how he’d do around children as none have been with us since his arrival. We have no indication that he possesses talents for vacuuming, dusting, or cleaning bathrooms. I’m tempted to put the boy to the test though. I would venture to guess he would work nicely as an only dog or w kids because he is calm and independent.
He really is a sweetie, gets along quite well with the other crowd, and will make a great pet for a lucky family
After Clyde was attacked by one of Barb’s dogs and came home from the vet’s, Barb commented:
The positive spin on Clyde’s unfortunate circumstances is that there’s a good chance he may be housebroken by the time he moves on to his forever home. He is continuing to rest and recover in the comfort and peace/quite of the kitchen and foyer while Truman, Tilly, and Ziggy stay out doors except when they come in to the bedroom at night through another door at the other end of the house. He’s eating, drinking, and the wounds are slowly showing improvement. I slept in the living room where I could keep an eye on him during the night, and this morning when I got up, he was standing at the living room door just wagging that little stub of his. I still don’t think he’s quite ready for a long ride, but I will continue to give you progress reports.
We tried fixing him some nice fresh beef liver for dinner last night. Not interested — but he’s eating other good stuff including dog food, chicken, and eggs.
And when he stands there and looks up at you with that little stump of a bunny rabbit tale just wagging away, you just want to squeeze him.
And on the housebreaking front – it’s funny because now he just gets to be in the kitchen/foyer/AND den during the day. When he sees that I’m getting ready to leave he crawls up into the nice leather couch and settles in for a nice time of listening to the soft music. NO ACCIDENTS and NO DESTRUCTION. I can only imagine what would happen if we left Tilly and Truman alone all day in the den. Ziggy’s not destructive, but oh those (2 year old) puppies!!!
I want his life..
Peggy, I am going to let Barb Saylor know that you are going to call and tell her a bit about you. She will want to know what kind of home he’s going to, of course. But, here is her cell number: 803.308.2147.
Finally, I am sorry for the confusion with the NCAR group and Lori Nelson.
I hope that you and Clyde are a match, but if not, we will do our best to help you find just the right Airedale.

Dear Jackie, So enjoyed the visit from Susan and her Airedale, June. Having visited kennels with Linda (LynAire) and Horatio her handler and a breeder of Airedales, followed by Susan and June, I can truly say in spite of the multiple awards for the two professional breeders, Susan’s Airedale at 65 lbs was more of what I consider an Airedale. I had a really tough time seeing all those beautiful dogs, mostly females caged for the greater part of their lives and appearing to be set aside when no longer useful for breeding. I know they care for their animals, but love, sorry did not see it. I have rescued a neighbor’s cat this week and have her housed in Paddington’s travel kennel as she required stitches and must be confined for 10 days. I know God does this to me, knowing I have no particular affinity for cats, He keeps throwing them at me. Guess I have a lesson to learn. Fortunately, she is a wonderful, loving cat, more of a neighborhood cat. Looking forward to hearing from Rescue. Take care, Peggy

Hi, Peggy. I am happy to tell you that you have been approved to adopt an Airedale from ARG. Susanne gave you a glowing recommendation and agreed with my impression that you will provide a wonderful home for a rescued Airedale.
Now, it’s just a matter of us finding the right one for you, Peggy, and one that will be compatible with your 9-year-old Chihuahua and not as large as Paddy was. I don’t think we have just the right one for you at this moment, but that could change quickly.
I will keep you in mind and if you notice one on our site that you are interested in, please let me know.

Just left you a voice mail message, checking to see if you have someone coming to the shelter to pick up the dog or does Collen need to transport. We need to let her know the location to make sure it is near her. Thank you Angel Terribile 910-892-6078

Hi! Wanted to give an update. Saw Sassy attempting to lick Dashers ears today. Play is yet to come. But, they are getting comfy with each other. Dash is very vocal. Uniquely so. Odd for Sassy, but humorous for Jamie and I. Dasher is a very affectionate girl. We love her so much. I am once more so grateful for this group of wonderful people. Thank you for all you do.

I spoke to Kathleen, owner of Peyton and Lincoln. These dogs are from Judy Betzel, a breeder in NC. Kathleen had Airedales growing up and never had a problem with this type of dog. Within 15 min of picking up these 2 dogs she was breaking out in welts. She has to have an inhaler with her when she is near them. They can only be outside or in here basement. She said this is not the way a dogs life should be. Very hard decision but she knows it’s not right. She talked to Judy who endorsed ARG.
She would like them placed together but has come to realization that may not be possible. The dogs are dependent on each other, love each other. They cry when one cannot see the other. They do not like other dogs. She took them to dog park initially and they did fine. Then she did not take them for some time and they had problems. She said now, even walking them she has to cross the road when they see another dog. Does not matter size, they seem aggressive to other dog.
Yes, they are really around 100 lb each.
