LOLA 



LOLA is an Airedale terrier, born at Mannheim 

 on 27 January, 1914, a daughter of Rolf, and of 

 the equally thorough-bred Jela. Both these 

 dogs were owned by the family of a barrister, 

 Dr. Moekel. The Airedale terrier resembles the dog 

 we call a " Schnauzer " ; it is wire-haired and of 

 medium growth ; generally with a greyish-black coat 

 and yellow feet. Its head is covered with silky curls 

 beneath which two bright eyes are seen. These dogs 

 are distinguished for their alert and attentive bearing, 

 while their excellent constitution renders them specially 

 suitable for being trained to useful pursuits ; they are 

 at the same time not an over-bred race. Professor 

 Heck, writing on the subject of these dogs (see " Com- 

 munications of the Society for Animal Psychology "),' 

 says : 



" We are indebted to Herr Gutbrod of Bradford 

 for the fact that this dog has already become fairly 

 well distributed among us. If I have been rightly 

 informed regarding the Airedale's history it is a cross- 

 breed between the otter-hound and the bull-terrier, 

 this strain having been originally obtained by the 

 factory hands of Airedale in the North of England, who 

 thus sought to obtain a hardy dog one not afraid of 

 water, and that would prove a useful assistant when 

 out poaching either water-fowl, hares or rabbits,
