Yes, she is a 9 month old Airedale pup. There is a back story-- this pup's is a niece to Mateo's (former) best friend, an Airedale who died suddenly, earlier this year. They met and it was an instant love affair... My friend who owns Airedales live 9 months of the year on a cherry orchard in Oregon (the other 3 months they keep an apt. here in New York City.) The Airedales keep the deer away from their orchard---and yes, they can be fierce! A very strong deterrent against the deer--- if they cross the fence they will be killed. Usually, they don't dare cross over... But, I have to say, both Airedales they have owned have been total mushes with any and all dogs (and humans)...very sweet and playful. But, they have a very strong prey drive, so rabbits and deer are fair game. But they do discriminate--very interesting breed...

Very cute!We had an airdale in our level 3 obed class. What a firecracker he was!!! He was such a clown, but he definitely ran the show as far as the relationship between he and his owner. And VERY drivey.

That describes the ones I have known very well! Such clowns, but SO drivey... definitely not a breed for me, LOL. But for my friends, they are perfect -- not only are the owners very active (she runs with them almost every day, several miles---and the dogs STILL have energy to spare!), but they have a job for them to do, which they excel at.

Sweet photo! I love Mateo.

Thanks all- I was glad I had my phone with me to capture such a sweet moment... And Liz_M... so do I... (insert red cheeked face here, as my emoticons don't seem to be working...)

That's one reason my mastiffs are my favorite. They aren't particularly athletic or drivey, like me lol.

Haha- I am sure he would love a holiday in the UK...so would I! He might like it too much, glen--especially romping around with your pack of handsome boys.
