Airedoodle Dog Breed

Below are the details and specs of the Airedoodle dog breed.

The Airedoodle is a medium to large sized dog breed. Generally the size of the dog is dependent upon the size of the poodle used in breeding. An adult Airedoodle should weigh in between 50-70 pounds and will generally reach a height of 22-26 inches.

Airedoodles do best with children and pets if introduced to them at a younger age. Adult Airedoodles may be apprehensive towards people and other animals if they are not familiar with them. Airedoodles who are socialized with children and pets as a puppy make fantastic household companions, and they respond exceptionally well to training.

You can expect the Airedoodle to be a medium maintenance dog breed. Their coat will need to be brushed at least three times per week and may need to be clipped regularly. Their Airedale terrier roots make these dogs very energetic. They need daily exercise in the form of a long walk, and they are happiest when there is a large yard in which to frolic.

The breeds that make up the Airedoodle have centuries of history, but the Airedale itself is a new dog breed and because of this the breed does not have a very detailed history. The Airedoodle has seen tremendous gains in popularity in the last few decades as designer breeds have become highly desired.

As a crossbreed, the Airedoodle will inherit physical traits from both parent breeds. Not all Airedoodles will inherit the same traits which means some Airedoodles may have more Poodle characteristics, others may have more Airedale Terrier characteristics, and some may exhibit a mix of both parent breeds. It is likely, however, that the majority of Airedoodles will have traits common in both the Airedale Terrier and the Poodle.

Airedoodles are athletic and muscular dogs. They should have strong legs and a tail that is thick at the base and gradually gets thinner towards the end. Airedoodles hold their tails in the straight or slightly raised position and raise it further upwards when excited.

The temperament of the Airedoodle is dependent on the behavioral traits inherited from its parents. Some Airedoodles will inherit a majority of traits from the Airedale Terrier, others the Poodle, and some will have a roughly equal mix of both parent breeds.

As such, you should expect the Airedoodle to have behavioral characteristics common in both the Poodle and Airedale Terrier. Airedoodles are known for being very intelligent and easily trainable in both obedience and tricks. These dogs want to please their owners and appreciate a firm owner who praises good behavior. Airedoodles are extremely personable and loyal dogs with great character, making them great as companions or guard dogs.

The Airedoodle is considered a healthy breed and is not particularly prone to any ailments. Still, these dogs can experience tooth infection and ear infection on occasion. Regularly cleaning can help prevent these issues from arising.
