      to me

      Humberto Marin Nice guy but no Airedale experience, started hunting 2 years ago and would like a hunting buddy.
      No fence bc of expense, Spartacus was a Bull Terrier he had for about 13 years. No fence, had a dog house he stayed in. In winter there was hay in it. Summer he stayed under a car port and screened in patio.
      Mom has asthma taking daily meds. However at one point he had a maltese. (I forgot to ask what happened to it). He also said he is looking for a hunting dog and he mentioned his other choice of dog is a Vietnamese Ridgeback (Phu Quoc).

      VET: Through texting stated they didn’t have anything under the name Marin.

      I will follow up if you think he would be a good candidate. I didn’t think it would be a good match.

        to me, Christina

        Seemed like a nice woman but I have physical concerns. She is moving into a trailer, on a lake in January and will not be able to put up a fence – probably won’t be approved by HOA. Currently renovating, putting in new flooring, painting etc. She is having back surgery on 1/5/22 and will have at least a 2-3 week recovery. Is not in a hurry….

        She’s had dogs her whole life. Last dog was a Pit inherited to her bc her son became a paraplegic. Good dog, shed a lot. Doesn’t want shedding nor ‘crazy behavior’ in her next dog. Sister has Airedale and she liked the breed said the dog was very smart. Has had German Shepherd, wolf mixes, Jack Russells, Labordoodle and the pit.

        Will ‘send dog to training’ after she has the animal for some time to see what any issues are and for them to bond. I asked her to send me the trainer name and company. Apparently the dog goes to a training facility without the owner for 3-4 days and then they invite the owner to train along the dog.

        Daughter will take dog if she has to have any type of surgery or is incapaticapted. Thought if she died we would take the dog back.
        Walks 3 miles a day around the lake track that her and her lady friends put in. Didn’t need HoA approval for that.

        Will be moving to 25 Coveside Circle in Elloree SC in January. She said she would contact me if she found a dog in the meantime. So she’s looking.

        The vet and I played phone tag a few times and he still hasn’t call me back after the last call.

        I’m not keen on her anyway. If you want me to continue to follow up with the vet, just let me know.

          1/18/2022: Asked about Captain. They have their daughter’s family living with them until their house is done. Not good timing. If Captain is still available in a few weeks then could be a yes.

          We need to place him before that.

            Mary,
            I was just looking at the website. I did not realize the adoption fee was $400. I must have misread the fee on the other website. I am very sorry that I have wasted your time, but we can’t afford that right now. I just wanted to let you know. Maybe later on we may be able to afford the adoption fee. Thank you so much for your time. Hope you have a great week!
            Thank you,

              to Airedale

              Good morning,

              Were you going to email the agreement to me? Just wanted to check since I haven’t received it yet.

              Luke is doing great. He is a bed hog 😂 and is still getting along well with my two dogs. He shows no interest in my cats but they do run when he comes in as they do with my other dogs. He shows no food aggression with my other two and they nap on the porch together after playing in the yard. On our leash walk he does not pay attention to the other dogs barking from their yards. He met my neighbor yesterday and barked at him with tail wagging and greeted him with no problems when he approached us. He will not go past my driveway on the return from the end of my road, he sees my two in the yard and wants to come back in to play with them. He does do pretty good on the leash, I think it just requires walking him everyday to keep him used to it.

              He is a real joy to have around. Hopefully he will continue his great behavior. I see no reason why he wouldn’t. Will keep you posted on how things go. 😊

              Thank you,
              Shelia

                      Sorry for responding late, email had issues, fixed now. Adopting this dog can’t be done at this time. Please keep us in mind for future dogs, Airdales of course.

                        My neighbor, Roger Thompson, in Hendersonville, NC, adopted an Airedale a couple of years ago.

                        Roger’s Parkinsons has progressed and can no longer take care of Captain.

                        Captain is about 9 years old, male, sweet and easy going and in good health. A little on the heavy side at 87 pounds, but a good dog. He’s been a good companion for Roger.

                        I’m hoping you can locate a foster or new forever home for him. He is being boarded now while Roger is in rehab after a fall.

                        Please let me know what additional information you will need. I’m happy to transport him to wherever. We picked him up in Winston-Salem.

                        Thank you for your assistance.

                              Markel,

                              Our team has talked and we will consider an adoption of a neutered or spayed Airedale to your family.

                              Luda is pending adoption, so she is not available.

                              As dogs become available, someone from our team will reach out when we have a fit for your home.

                              Sincerely,
                              Pat Hairston & the ARG Team

                                Hi all,
                                I conducted the home visit today and need to let you know that the Childress’s need to move to the top of the preferred adoption list. They are very experienced Airedale parents that have provided a very safe and comfortable environment for Airedales. Their existing Airedale is friendly and calm, energetic and playful, a little stubborn but obedient. Both George and Beth have personalities preferred for parents of an Airedale. It’s not clear to me who trained who, but it’s a well balanced dog-owner relationship.😜
                                I found their home, remarks and representations to be favorable and consistent with their application. I found noting objectionable during my visit and would have no objection leaving my girl, Jazzy, in their care.
                                If you need additional information or clarification, don’t hesitate to contact me.
                                Stew Tarkington

                                  to me

                                  LOVED this young woman. Told me many stories of how intelligent her Tess was growing up. It was ‘her dog’ from 3rd grade to College senior. When Tess rolled in something dead, mom put Sabrina in the room and Tess and said figure it out. ha! She told me many stories that made me laugh proofing that Sabrina understands you have to try to be 3 steps ahead of the animal.

                                  Duffy, Current dog is a rescue since 5/21, is 3 year old, M/N, UTD. So they haven’t had Duffy long. They were charged by a big dog on a walk and now take him to dog parks and he is trusting and understanding other dogs can be fun.
                                  VET: 1 visit, UTD, on HeartGuard and NextGen

                                  Has 1.2 acres and is fenced.

                                  I really liked her attitude and understanding of what an Airedale can be. It’s the first time in many interviews that I automatically wanted to give someone an Airedale.

                                  I would recommend a home visit for sure. She is interested in Fostering too…but I think she really just wants one that gets along with other dogs.
