Airedale is a breed of dogs from the terrier family. It was bred in Erdel, the geographical area of Yorkshire, England. As the largest terrier breed, the Airedale has traditionally been referred to as “Terrier kings”. The Airedale Terrier breed was bred by crossing an Otterhound with an Old English Black and Tan Terrier. They were also known as the Eyre Valley Terrier. They got this name from the name of the Ayr River, in which they were supposed to hunt otters. In the United Kingdom, this breed was also used as police dogs.
