Hi Jan and Keith,
Just wanted to thank you for the really wonderful 6 years that Jinks allowed us to share her life. It is hard to put into words what makes each airedale so special, it could be that she knocked on the door when she wanted to come in, but wouldn\'t enter until I invited her in, or the way that she preferred to drink water from the children\'s sandpit, mop bucket, or any other suitable scruffy container, or it could have been the way she patrolled the perimeter of the garden at least 3 times a day and gave an all clear bark to Rosie. It\'s possible that her food choices gave her an edge - lamb madras was her favorite, she couldn\'t sit still or keep quiet if we had a takeaway, or it could have been the way that she came in at 5pm on the dot for her tea and nudged me until I fed her. Such a well brought up girl! I could go on and on - an airedale owner\'s trait I know, but she really was the best.
We\'ll miss her so much
Much love and Thanks

Matty has had 9 beautiful pups from SA CH Albenor Here I Am - 4 girls and 5 boys. All strong and healthy and prefer to be outside even on the coldest wettest day of the Cape winter. She continues to give us endless pleasure (despite the fact that chose to go AWOL on our mountain walk on Sunday - most unlike her). We are keeping one of the boys - Crosby - so we hope he will be as loving and as loveable as his Mum.
Hi Keith
Our lovely Otis has hit hit 6 months mark and is doing really well. We show all visitors the footage of his Dad Jaxx winning at Crufts - the kids love it too. He is bouncy and full of beans - partial to pinching sausages off the kitchen worktop and can hear the dishwasher door open from the end of the garden !
When will he bea ready for his first clip as he looks a bit scruffy as his coat is still transitioning to adult coat?

Hi,
Looking forward to the puppys being born around the 21st got our name down on the puppy list. Had Airedales in the past and they are the best breed in my opinion. I think you have a great website and look forward to hearing from you in the next couple of weeks!!!

Hi Keith an Jan, we bought Shadlian Millersdale from you in 2007, He has jus had his 4th birthday 7/3/2011 I would just like to say WOW what an amazing dog he is ive had a few different breeds in my time but never a dog so gentle relaxed infact Miller is so relaxed he's horizontal ive had visitors come to my house an thought he was a toy because he never mooved he's taken over the leather bean bag as his own and will share it with you, but more importantly my job as a childminder ...all the children love him to bits he enjoys all the attention an loves to play with the children in the holidays we take him for long walks he looks out for the children if one falls over he's there fussing away and being a large dog yet so gentle but such a character, altho he has all these wonderful qualities he still has a naughty but funny trait leave the gates open an he's off an so are we for about an hour until he decides he's had his fun an comes back he's so comical with it you jus can't help but smile what a wonderful dog he is ....thank you.x
Very impressed by your site, references. My feeling is that you are very professional and know what you are doing.Tanisha Breton -Priceless Yorkie Puppy
Hi,
We want to inform you that we had to have our Airedale Kai(Shadlian Malokai) put to sleep recently. He was just over 10yrs old and we got him from you when he was about 8 months old. He was a great dog, a right plodder never caused us any problems and he was the Alan Wicker of the dog world as we moved to New Zealand for 2yrs and he spent many a happy time on the beaches of the southern hemisphere.

Hi Keith & Jan,
Love your new web site, congrats. Just wanted to let you both know, we got a rescue dog. Exactly a week after we lost Snowy. I was so pleased, as Storm developed a large bald spot on her tummy due to stress. He is a handsome 5 year old boy, Storm loves him, in fact,she mothers him. He is very dark ginger in colour, so makes Storm look so like Snowy. She is still very active, my little shadow.
All the best,
Linda xx

Hi Jan & Keith great to see your new site.Alls well here Whinnie sends her love she can still show them youngsters what to do.Meet up soon
Really pleased to see your new web site. Our Airedale Jazz (Shadlian Cloudberry) who was 8 in June is still doing well, although she is slowing up on walks now, and given the choice would probably stay at home! She still entertains us all with her 'airedale' ways and has definately made us into airedale converts. We can't imagine ever being without one now.
Best Wishes

hello there. have subscribed to your site. please could you give me any details of the pups that are due as regards to whether there are any photos on your site of the parents, cost etc.....many thanks
Hi Jan and Keith, Hope you are both well! I know you like to be kept up to date with your \'family\'so thought I would let you know that Ralph died last Friday at the grand old age of 14 and 2/3 rds. As you aware my dogs are my best pals, and it was particularly sad to let him go.When he first came to us from rescue all those years ago,it took him a little while to settle down but under Lola\'s expert tuition he soon found his niche which was obviously her sidekick, they interaccted fantastically together and since we lost Lolie earlier this year, Rosie took on the job of keeping him in line. I can\'t thank you enough for Ralph, what a Guy, - he was the most loving, faithful, protective Dog, and if anyone has any worries about having a dog and children they should request my photo album, whenever there are children here, that is most weekends, Ralph is prominent in the picture. He felt that it was his duty to be beside the pram, or bike or dolls house, he just loved them all - to the extent that he guarded their teddies in his own special place down the garden!
Since the arrival of our own little whirlwind yes Rosie is a \'bit\' of a character he has been very patient with the constant tugs on his tail, ears, paws and anything else she could clamp on to, but as with Lola, he has been the perfect role model. She has been a little lost without him to say the least.
Rosie, well what can I say, she is the prettiest of dogs the most clever, sociable, comes to whistle and sits on request, that is if she wants to of course. She has her own circle of friends and regularly rounds them up, if she spots them going through the path in our garden she feels that if they look in her direction its an invitation to join them and finds a way through, over, under the gate, only to be returned an hour later with a ball in her mouth - she has been known to join the ramblers association and does guided tours!
Oh yes and tennis balls, she keeps a supply hidden and has one available morning noon and night, I have a tennis raquet outside the back door, and she lets me know when its time for a game because she drops it in my lap,handbag, shoe in fact anywhere until I join in, her favourite game is trying to catch the ball mid flight and can jump like a kangaroo - my 2 sons still have a kick around with a football and toss a rugby ball to each other - she has become very adept at dribbling the ball and loves piggie in the middle, she can can head the ball either way- depends who is her best mate that day, sadly she cannot kick very well with her left paw so I don\'t think that she is going to make the international stage, but you never know- if she practises more that the eight hours a day she is doing already!
On a serious note, which obviously is difficult for an airedale owner, she has made the most beautiful dog, not that I asm biased at all.
Kind Regards
Maggie
