For all you Canadians out there
The Canadian Kennel Club (CKC) allows Airedales to complete in a series of tests called the Working Certicate Tests. They have 3 increasingly difficult sections.
Basically:
WC - Working Certificate
a back to back singles on land 50 - 75 yrds
b back to back singles on water 25 - 40 yrds
WCI Working Certificate Intermediate
a land double 75 yrds moderate cover
b honour on land test
c water double 40-50 yrds 1 in water with decoys
WCX Working Certificate Excellent
a walk up test with land and land/water double
b honour on walk up
c water double 100 yrds & 50 yrd
c land blind 50 yrds with obstacle
e water blind 50 yrds decoys and draws (land)
So you do have something to work towards if so inclined.
