Format:Hardcover
A must book for ALL Airedale Terrier Owners, from the new owner to stalwarts of the breed. It is truly a good book covering the Airedale of Today. One that will be of relevance well into the twenty-first century. A must read for excellent advice from birth onwards. With first class photos this is a book that should be on every owner/breeder/exhibitor's bookshelf.

J. Huxley's new airedale book is great and a must have for all Airedale owners, breeder, fans. Being an Airedale owner myself I have read many books on Airedales and I can say that this book ranks among the best. A true professional work!

best airedale book available today
18 Dec 2002
Format:Hardcover
This is the most complete Airedale book, without a lot of the extraneous general dog information found in other Airedale books. Has a good history and description of the breed as well as general care, ie for their difficult terrier coat. Good advise for first time owners and good reference for even experienced oweners.

A good general description book
12 Oct 2005
Format:Hardcover
As an owner of an Airedale teenager who has already searched the earth for information, I was not too chuffed by this book. What it does is offer a lot of general information which I happened to know already before purchasing this book. It certainly is a good reading material for those who do not know that much about the breed but that was not me. Yet since there is not much of book resources on Airedales, it is good to have this one than to have nothing.

Airedale Terrier Book
11 Mar 2011
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I was on a waiting list for an Airedale Terrier for over 6 months so while I waited I ended up purchasing several books to educate myself on the breed and what to expect. Here are the 8 books that I purchase from my most favorite to my least favorite along with my review.
1. Airedale Terrier - A Comprehensive Guide to Owning and Caring for Your Dog, by: Bardi McLennan. 155 Pages. Color Pictures.
If you are going to own one Airedale Terrier book, the one ABOVE is the one to own. It is filled with information such as the History of the Airedale, Characteristics, Breed Standard, the Airedale Puppy, Proper Care, Training Tips, Health Care, and Showing. It filled with lots of color pictures and good information.
Below are other options which I rate below my first option above.
2. Airedale Terrier Today - Janet Huxley 174 Pages. Color Pictures.
3. Airedale Terrier - Pet Owners Guide, by Janet Huxley. 80 Pages. Color Pictures. This is a condensed version of the books listed above. Still an overall great book.
4. Airedale Terrier - A new Owner's Guide, Betty-Anne Stenmark. 158 Pages. Color Pictures.
5. Airedale Terrier - An Owner's Companion, Mary Swash and Donald Millar. 168 Pages. Black and White. In addition to general Airedale information, this book also provides information on the Airedale Bloodline listing some of the top Champions and Airedale breeders.
6. The New Airedale Terrier - Jun Dutcher and Janet Johnson Framke. 276 Pages. Black and White. In addition to general Airedale information, this book also provides information on the Airedale Bloodline listing some of the top Champions and Airedale breeders.
7. Airedale Terrier - A complete Pet Owner's Manual. 93 Pages. Mainly Black and White.
Not rated:
Airedale Terriers (Pebble Books). This one is a children's book and has a dozen or so color pages.
All in all, the information contained in these books are similar in nature. In my opinion, the ones rated towards the top are the most comprehensive.
As a last note, I finally have my Airedale puppy and it was worth the wait. He's the best dog ever!
