Airedales Delivered
Went up to Viola yesterday with Rhodri to pick up three pups from Andy Loughlin from Missouri. He had a litter of Airedales from Matt Thom's and Henry's Redline Airedale Jingo and his Heidi. I really wanted one of these as they are bred as working dogs through and through but I have plenty to deal with at the moment. Rhodri is taking one and sending another to a Hunt Master friend down in Georgia. These pups go back to some really fine hunting Airedales and are mostly from Henry's Sandhill Line. I apologize for not taking more pics of them all but I brought one home for a hunting buddy of mine and took a few before he picked her up. She was my pick of the three although they were all great looking pups. Also there's a few pics of Henry's two Border Terriers, Bullet and Komegan. I also include a few of my Rednose Pit and the new Bandog puppy which I have finally named "Dugga Boy" which is an African name for "Old Buffalo" his eyes reminded me of the eyes of Cape Buffalo. I think it fits him too.

Gawd, what a fantastic Airedale pup! And I really have been keen on Border Terriers as a potential acquisition if I ever get any more small dogs(no time soon with my present mega-pack of 11 dogs!)--and getting them from someone like Henry Johnson would be THE BEST! I don't know what he or his small terrier working associates charge for a pup, but whenever I've investigated them, Border Terriers are incredibly, stupidly expensive! Way more than this hillbilly peasant would ever be able to afford(and I wouldn't pay such exorbitant prices as a matter of principle, too!). But keep those photos and adventures coming--I love it!.....L.B.
ReplyDeleteGood luck on the Airedales, they are getting harder and harder to find, ones with any grit and smart/hunt in them at least.
ReplyDeleteI think thats why Jagds are taking off, Versatiles too.
Take care
The pups went to friends of mine as I have three to deal with already. Two of my Airedales are doing a good job and the third is coming on well. Their bloodlines are well known for hunt and grit and do well hunting with my Jagds. I love the Jagds, so much heart there! Thanks for your comment, AP
