What a crazy coincidence. The airedale was our first choice, but with the risk of getting stationed in Japan, they are just too big for that. SO I looked for another relative, and was led to the Irish Terrier. A man we were talking to at the airport stayed to see our pup. he had two airedales. They are awesome dogs and rarely seen. I have only seen one in real life. They also play a roll on the great outdoors 2. He is the debonair hound from the South.
I can't wait for my puppy to grow up already, I forgot how much it sucked. Yipping and crying all night...*sigh*, he is the cutest little thing though. He has some big shoes to fill to be the best dog ever. Our dingo house trained himself 6 or 7 weeks, and now we can leave him home from Fri to Sun by himself, full run of the house, no problems. He feeds himself, perfect health, understands several voice commands, can be taken out without a leash. That is why we got the pup now, so our dog Ducky can mentor him. He already taught the little guy to use the doggy door, so thats progress I suppose. Expect photos of Goosey over the next few years with me wheeling.
