A good Airedale is about as big as a pointer; somewhere in the neighborhood of forty-five pounds, a little more for a dog and a little less of a bitch. His head should be long; the skull flat and broad; the cheeks smooth; the muzzle strong with tight lips over big. white, even teeth. His eyes should be small, dark, and full of fire and his ears little, carried high, and shaped like a V, for nothering can so detract from the correct terrier expression as large, light eyes and houndy ears. His front legs ought to be a pair of gun barrels, straight and strong and about the same thickness all the way down. His shoulders are like those of a race horse, long and sloping; while his pads should be firm and hard. not those loose, sprawly feet sometimes seen. The only kind of a back for him to have is short, and his ribs must be well sprung. A long backed dog lacks staying qualities, and a slab-sided one has not the room for lungs. His chest should be deep, but narrow, and he should be slightly cut up in the loin--not the wasp-likewaist of a greyhound--but no better is a body like a stovepipe. His hindquarters should be strong, with the hocks quite near the ground. The Airedale that does not carry a gay tail is a delight to no eye. Last but not least, comes the coat. In color this should be a deep, rich tan on the head, face, chest, legs, and under parts, while over the back is a saddle of black or iron-grey. Personally, I would like the black more than the grizzle, for it makes a prettier contrast with the tan, but "a good horse cannot be a bad color." The Airedale's coat is (or rather should be) double. The overcoat is of hair like wire, stiff and hard, about a inch long all over the dog, except on the skull where it is shorter. Under this jacket of wire, there ought to be a vest of soft, wooly hair. If you can collect in your mind's eye all the above details of description you should see a big, strong, compact, businesslike dog, full of the proverbial up-and-ever-coming spirit that inspires all terriers. His every movement shows strength, yet he always moves in that effort-economizing way which is the very personification of grace. When running he sweeps along with the free open stride of a galloping thoroughbred, with his head often carried low but his tail always high. |

Head.- Long, with flat skull, not too broad between the ears and narrowing slightly to the eyes, free from wrinkle. Stop hardly visible, and cheeks free from fullness. Jaw deep and powerful, well filled up before the eyes, lips tight. Ears V-shaped with a side carriage, small but not out of proportion to the size of the dog. The nose black. The eyes small and dark in color, not prominent, but full of Terrier expression. The teeth strong and level. Neck.- Should be of moderate length and thickness, gradually widening toward the shoulders and free from throatiness. Shoulders and Chest.- Shoulders long and sloping well into the back, shoulder-blades flat. Chest deep, but not broad. Body.- Back short, strong and straight. Ribs well sprung. Hind Quarters.- Strong and muscular, with no droop. Hocks well let down. The tail set on high and carried gaily, but not curled over the back. Legs and Feet.- Legs perfectly straight, with plenty of bone. Feet small and round, with good depth of pad. Coat.- Hard and wiry, and not so long as to appear ragged; it should also lie straight and close, covering the dog well all of the body and legs. Color.- The head and ears, with the exception of dark markings on each side of the skull, should be tan, the ears being of a darker shade than the rest, the legs up to the thighs and elbows being also tan, the body black or dark grizzle. Size.- Dogs, 40 to 45 pounds weight. Bitches slightly less. It is the unanimous opinion of the club that the size of the Airedale Terrier as given in the above standard s one of, if not the most important, characteristics of the breed; all judges who shall henceforth adjudicate on the merits of the Airedale Terrier shall consider the undersized specimens of the breed severely handicapped when competing with dogs of the standard weight.
