Welcome to Airedales Von Pape
We are small kennel which is doing our part to preserve versatile hunting Airedales for the next generation. Working is what Airedale Terriers were originally bred for. Working Airedales have a history of many jobs. They have served as police dogs, as military dogs, search and rescue and as service dogs. They have been farm dogs protecting livestock as well as utilized in herding livestock. They have been used to hunt nearly every animal that can be hunted with dogs on the planet. They have hunted various game animals in Africa: lions, leopards, etc. They have hunted various game in India: panthers, elephants etc. In Europe they have hunted otter, rats, upland game and waterfowl. In the United States they have hunted wild boar, mountain lions, black bear, grizzly bear, raccoons, foxes, coyote, ground hogs, upland birds, wolves and waterfowl. A properly bred Airedale, in my opinion, is the most versatile dog on the planet and has proven that to be so throughout the breeds history on various continents. It is true, most Airedale Terriers today are bred for pet owners and the show ring and have lost their working ability, but hunting working Airedales are still alive and doing what they were bred to do! See pics below of Airedales from Airedales Von Pape hunting.***

WARNING HUNTING PHOTOS BELOW...
Please do not scroll down if you do not want to see Airedales hunting various game.
I will occasionally update with more photos of Airedales Von Pape hunting. Not all of the Airedales
shown below made it into our breeding program. They all made decent hunters in their own way,
but we are striving for the best, most versatile, confident, stable and intelligent
Airedales we can produce.
