The Airedoodle is not a purebred dog. It is a cross between the Airedale Terrier and the Poodle. Because it is a hybrid dog you should research both breeds separately and compare them to get a good definition of the dog’s health, temperament, and personality. There are some characteristics, however, that are the Airedoodle’s and the Airedoodle’s alone. While they may not be well known you may be interested to know these little known facts before adopting.

Used as Guard Dogs

Despite their size and utterly adorable dispositions small families often use this breed as guard dogs. Since Airedoodles can sometimes be a bit barky they will alert the family of any unusual goings on at night. Be sure to train your new friend that rabbits and curious squirrels are not a threat though. Otherwise you will be waking up every hour wondering why the dog had to warn you about the garbage man or a light that turned on in the neighbor’s home.

Enjoys Meeting New People

Airedoodles thrive on socialization. This breed is wonderful with other dogs and small children. They are very patient and sweet and can be great as a new addition to the family or even a therapy dog. A good way to prepare for your new friend’s homecoming is looking up puppy kindergartens and dog parks. The more they can play with others the more patient and comfortable they will be around new people inside and outside of your home.

Needs Space

Unlike other hybrid breeds Airedoodles need lots of space to exercise and be comfortable. Before you adopt an Airedoodle be sure fence your yard properly, have enough time to socialize your new friend, and plan hiking trips for you and your pooch. Giving your new pet plenty of time and space to run will help them be happier, healthier, and more obedient.

Airedoodles are a wonderful pet for a small family who is just starting. These dogs are endlessly patient and understanding with little ones and love to meet new people and pooches. Before you adopt be sure to have time to exercise and train your new friend so they remain happy and healthy in their new home. You will also want to have plenty of new exercise routines and hikes planned so you both can get a great workout and have fun at the same time.
