Pup Suitable for working sport

[ed]

Recently I have been e mailed asking how do you know a pup is good for working sports.
" Don't want to get a dud or invest immense time in a hopeless prospect. "
All kinds of thing you can say but seeing a couple of good pups is worth a thousand words. Look also at the exposure and interaction the pup gets.

Good stuff Curt...there is a 12 week airedale in Colorado (Jim's new pup) already doing this stuff. He is now getting exposed to cattle , horses and ranch life. Jim told me a Coyote sort of followed behind them on walk around the property and took an interest in him.
I need to get a digital vid when they get back.

Hey Ed, I am a police officer and k9 handler in Oklahoma. I always have loved the Airedale, and been a huge schutzhund fan. It is extremely hard to find suitable Airedales here and I invested a lot of time with very little results. I've about talked myself into another try, and am looking for a female prospect. Any advice! Thanks Perry Settle

Perry the only dogs i have had personal experience with are Don's and Stew Tardiff's(my own dog).
Brought in one from Germany for my friend Jim( related to the recent big winner Eyk v, Erikson) and Jesse on the board has a recent Stew T pup. There are pics of these dogs and video's of Eyk on the Board..
Southern also sent me some pics of some of her dogs working.

i would encourage you to talk to these 3 breeders as they are honest about their dogs and have had dogs out on the field.
Airedales can really run with the big dogs if we give them a shot. PM me if I can help.
