If you have a question on them ask it. The fact is dog training is not breed specific. It's temperament and drive specific. The worst dog bite I ever had (in 30 years of training and studying protection work) was from my mothers toy poodle
I had the oportunity to work a coupl eih protection some time back in a seminar situation. Fun dogs to work but rare in teh protection circles.
I had workede a couple in personal protection many years ago and one Kerry Blue as well.
I have always had an interest int he dogs and in their day (back in the 20's and 30's ) they were considered THE protection breed and had a history as police dogs back then.

Steve, I showed an Airedale to a SchH II and I've discussed it in a few posts. Nowadays though I don't think one earns a SchH title but once every four or five years.
So basically, there's not much discussion about them here ( or anywhere that I can find ) because there are other breeds that can do a better job with less training. So trainers migrate to those breeds because they're looking for success, naturally. That's just human nature.
Just the truth of the matter as I see it - if you're titling them in protection sports please let me know, I'd be very interested in your activities, believe me! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
Having had terriers for the past 25+ yrs, I seriously considered the Airedale before I started my GSD search. I had found a couple of serious hunting lines but those dogs were either people soft or WAY to aggressive. Will and Cris kinda dogs if you get my drift <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
I've had a couple of Kerrys over the years. With a little of the right training, I think they could have been great sport dogs. Physically, I think they could do anything I see a small Mal doing today. Not trying to stir up $#!+, just MHO. Without the proper testing I'm just guessing, but I think one had the right stuff for just about any bite work. Outside of the working breeds, I've not seen to many dogs, short of a few JRTs, that had absolutely no fear of anything. Man or beast! Terriers rock! Training them is......uh......different from the working breeds. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
yeah i meen you see them with sch titles all the time its just that you know the german and dutch shephers and mals have takin over with the ocassional rott but if worked and owed giant shnauzers and they do the work but there just lazy untill youve had an airedale youll never know i like the guy on here who said he preferes them before shepd. honestly out of the protection dogs other than sheps and mal the airedale is a better breed than the giant schnauzer and things but i meen i guess that my oppinion to its apples and oranges i just didnt think that the pit bull would be there and not the airedale no offence but airedales are genetics protection dogs with the bully breeds its one in a thousand that do the work

LOL, I have an ACD that fits that bill <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> He has no fear except perhaps of pissing me off <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Training an ACD in protection, even though it is a herding breed, is very different as well. A dog bred to withstand kicks to the head can be somewhat of a challenge at times <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> Had a friend who always wanted to do protection with an Airdale but the only ones I ever see are at AKC shows and the ones I have seen would not be suited towards the sport. Would love to see one compete one day though.
