It should add some grit to your dogs for sure. I like airedales and terriers in general. Some like a quarter airedale. I wonder if they will open or be closed mouth dogs.

based entirely on my experiences w/ treeing walkers, they should be good fight picking dogs. knock that out of them and you should be able to make descent or better dogs out of them.

pops i have had several airedale crosses and never had an airedale pick a fight. last one i had was an exceptional dog and so was the one before that. applied alot of pressure that the bears couldn't stand. made them climb quicker. i was only wondering bout the specific cross. had them crossed with everything but a redbone and a walker.

i can't really argue bout those new fangeled bred walkers. seen way to many tree minded retards pick fights thats why the majority of my dogs are cross bred.
