Meet ARI: part roadrunner, part teddy bear and part gremlin, all-in-all she is 100% Airedale with a heart of gold and a nose for getting into trouble. She was born sometime in September of 2025 and she has a bit of growing left to do – up to 55 or 60 lbs.

ARI comes with a typical Airedale personality.  She is delightful, happy go lucky and has a very special air about her and her foster adores her.  She is ALL puppy – that means she is into everything, every minute and goes everywhere and has a blast while she does it. She knows she isn’t supposed to run off with your shoes, but if she can she will try – that’s on you for leaving them where she can find them. Just remember – if it fits in her mouth… those sharp puppy daggers are coming for it all!

ARI has mastered crate training, house training (with a doggie door), planting and some manners. Like her breed traits, ARI comes with some stubbornness, mouthiness, a bit of an independent streak, great affection and a love of all things she can get away with – her ancestors could hunt all day long and then guard the family and fortress at night. She is incredibly smart, picks up things very quickly, especially if treats are involved and loves her training – she is always ready to prove she is worthy of everything! She is extremely outgoing and knows no strangers – truly a love muffin with curly hair. She does have a nice off switch and enjoys her cuddle time after keeping busy all day long.

ARI loves to play and she is great with the other dogs in the house and especially likes to play rough and tumble with her foster siblings who also enjoy it, she will need a canine playmate that is able to keep up with her shenanigans and put her in her place if necessary. Preference is absolutely key to dogs her size or larger. She loves any and all toys or anything that resembles toys… She is learning to be respectful with the older dogs in the house and learning that NO means NO and she easily goes off to find other adventures.

Ari will steal your heart (and your socks)… and she needs a family who has experience with Airedales, the patience of a saint, a great sense of humor and who is of strong mind and heart. She will test you. She will make you wonder why you a) considered an Airedale and 2) wanted a young one. No kids under ten, they would be hard put to ward off her jumps of joy and dagger teeth. Her family will continue her training and give her everything she deserves – and she in return will bring much joy and laughter.

ARI is vaccinated, wormed, micro chipped, on heartworm preventative and soon to be spayed at the appropriate time for her breed standard – we will set her appointment and pay for it.
