THE AIREDALE AS A HUNTER 
A lthough the sporting possibil- 
ities of terriers have usually been 
limited in popular opinion to rat 
killing, within recent years many sports- 
men in all parts of the country have 
come to realize that the Airedale, by 
virtue of his unusual physical qualifica- 
tions of size, strength and coat, his re- 
markably keen nose and wonderful in- 
telligence, possesses a sphere of all- 
around usefulness to the sportsman that 
is not approached by any other breed 
of dogs. In disposition a young Airedale 
terrier, like a healthy growing boy, is 
all energy, dash and go. He doesn’t 
want to keep still and it is impossible 
for him to do so; he has got to be doing 
something. With it all, he is full of 
life and pluck. When taken out for a 
ramble he goes trotting about here and 
there, looking for something to worry, 
now working his way laboriously through 
a brush-pile or under a hedge, now peer- 
ing expectantly into some burrow which 
he enlarges with a few vigorous strokes 
of his sturdy paws. It is this healthy 
independence of character and aggres- 
siveness of spirit, properly developed 
and controlled, that makes the finished 
Airedale the most useful of all-around 
hunting dogs. 
Airedales take as readily to hunting 
rabbits as they do to killing rats, and 
will work brush piles and hedges most 
industriously. They will jump rabbits, 
that may be shot in front of them or 
whose trail may be taken up by beagles 
and hounds. Although Airedales have 
good noses, they are not as keen as a 
hound and cannot distinguish between 
fresh and old tracks and are apt to 
spend a good deal of time pottering on 
old trails or working on a back trail. 
They can be broken of this fault, or 
rather, they can be kept frcm getting 
into the habit, by taking them out early 
in the season and getting them to work 
on young rabbits that are in the mead- 
ows and orchards or along the thickets, 
before the latter have acquired much 
cunning or taken to holing. At this time 
rabbits are easily caught and the puppy, 
as soon as he has run one down, will 
start hustling about to jump another.
