The largest of the terrier breeds, it is traditionally called the "King of Terriers."
The Airedale was bred from the Old English Black and Tan Terrier, the Otterhound, and probably some other Terrier breeds.
This breed, originally bred to serve as a versatile hunting and all-around working farm dog, has also been used as a war dog, guide dog, and police dog in Britain.
In the United States, the breed has been used to hunt big game, upland birds, and waterfowl, and serve in many other working capacities.
