8/28/20: Julie:
Nice guy but I think it’s too much for him to handle. They used the word protection often.
Walter – 25
Michelle – 45 – Mom – on social security
Addison – 3 year old daughter
Lives with Amy and Tyler Patrick and their 2 small dogsChris Dixon is his best friend (Walter called him brother, mom said friend – cultural thing?), Kyra and Leelan – kids, they have a boxer who is very sweet.
He’s 6’5″ tall and the fenced in yard is taller than him. Dad had Airedale from Walter’s age of 10 to about 17 years old. Took the dog every where on the farm, to the lake etc. Good memories for him.
He had no idea how much monthly costs would be, suggested 80 is probably a monthly amount for food and treats. Suggested he call around to vet and ask prices for vet office visits vs illness visits, vs vaccines.
Spw Mom, she is able to watch the 3 yr old daughter, able to get around. She explained it’s one big house they all share. Talked about crate training. Used the words Protect the 3 yr old. I don’t know if it’s a country culture or if they live in a bad neighborhood. She also mentioned the 2 Airedales her and her husband had were very protective of them. After husband died, Sheena had to be given up and they gave her to a family. No more contact.
Spw Tyler, has 2 mixed breed chihuahuas, 2 cats. retired military, met over xbox became fast friends, Walter had ‘an issue’ in TX and he was invited to live with Tyler for the last 3-4 years.
Maybe a home visit would make it clear that this should be a no. I think it’s a moving target situation that a rescue may not acclimate too.
9/2/2020: Offered 10 mo old Mia and declined. The application moved to Never Adopted; just don’t think her heart is ready.
8-24/2020 Julie: Hey Pat, Happy Monday!
Christie Crawford.
Has owned 2 Airedales, one was a rescue who did not pass the AKC certification only due to eating assertiveness. (I don’t know if she actually tried to take the test).
Both traveled with them, which is very important to her. She also wants a socialized dog who CAN pass the AKC certification.
Several acres in back yard, cannot be fenced due to water and trees. She walked her dogs 2-3 times in the morning and 1 afternoon. She uses a GPS tracker which is kind of like a Fit bit for dogs. She aimed for 90 minutes a day.
Lives with husband and Ramon – who watches the house and dog when away.
Moved to TN from Hawaii about 3 years ago.
Clarksville Animal hospital, end of life care due to lymphoma and yearly wellness exams for 3 years.
She is also looking at breeders.I think I will set up a home visit with Connie Gorgol. Pat, if you have her phone or email, could you pass it to me.

8/8/2020 pat; spoke with Volker prior to application as he was interested in understanding our process. He is a dog knowledgeable person and has trained a number of dogs including Airedale’s when he was in Germany. We reviewed ARG’s view (and mine) on balances training with no electronic collars or prong collars. Behavior modification through shaping behavior and treat/praise reward. Property is not fenced but he is not opposed to fencing and is committed to leash walking until that time.
He has 2 teenage children that are with him part time. Both have grown up with dogs, the family dog (boxer) passed away last year of old age. He would like to meet the potential adoptee to make sure they would have a bond. Move forward on HV.
