Frequently Asked Questions

Is it true that Airedales don't shed?

SouthWest Airedale Terrier Rescue Frequently Asked Questions...
Yes and no. Rather than losing and regrowing hair throughout the year, Airedale hair will grow to a certain length and then "blow," with it all coming out at one time. As long as you keep your Airedale well brushed and clipped, very little hair will end up in your house. HOWEVER, if your goal is to own a dog AND have a pristine yard and house, that will be very difficult with an Airedale. Airedale beards can carry quarts of water. Airedales love to dig and stick their heads into holes.

IS IT TRUE THAT AIREDALES ARE EASY TO TRAIN? AND WHAT TRAINING AND CLASSES DO YOU RECOMMEND?

Woodcrest Kennel LLC - Airedale Terriers - FAQ & Policie...
Yes. Airedales are known for their trainability and their versatility (ability to perform most any task they are trained to do). You should be able to train your puppy to do most anything you want it to do or not to do things you don't want it to. Keep in mind that trainability is greatly dependent on you. It takes a strong commitment and consistency on your part. Airedales are also extremely intelligent and will test you at every step of the way.

Is it true that Doodles don't shed?

Country Club Labradoole Frequently Asked Questions
Some doodles are non-shedding, others shed slightly and still others shed quite a bit. Generally, multigenerational labradoodles (labradoodle x labradoodle) and F1B's (labradoodle x poodle) are less likely to shed because there is a higher percentage of poodle in the mix. But if you are considering adding a labradoodle to your family it's important to realize that any labradoodle may shed.

Is it true that Airedales are good for people with allergies?

Overview - Airedale Rescue Group
While it is true that many people that are allergic to some other breeds seem to have fewer problems living with Airedales, the fact that you have allergies is not a sufficient reason to get an Airedale. You are adding a member to your household and should consider the temperament, size, your schedule and many other things when selecting a pet. There are other breeds, (for example; Poodles) which are also "less allergic", which may suit you and yours better.

DO AIREDALES DIG?

Woodcrest Kennel LLC - Airedale Terriers - FAQ & Policie...
Yes. Airedales are Terriers. Terriers are earth-dogs. You must expect any Airedale to dig. Some Airedales dig more than others. We find that there are particular times when the Airedales do more digging, such as spring time or when puppies are in the house. You may need to block off particular sections of your yard that you especially do not want the dog to dig in.

I have small children and have heard that Airedales are excellent family dogs. Is that true?

SouthWest Airedale Terrier Rescue Frequently Asked Questions...
Airedales can be excellent family dogs, but many rescued Airedales come from families who purchased them as pups to "grow up" with their children, not realizing that an Airedale puppy takes just as much time to raise properly as an infant human. When the harried mother finds she does not have the time and energy to train and exercise a puppy, as well as take care of her toddler, the puppy is banished to the back yard, where he digs and howls from boredom and loneliness.

Do they shed?

Neapolitan Mastiff Frequently Asked Questions
They have short hair and actually shed very little. The spring tends to be the worst time. While the new coat is growing the dog may appear lighter colored and spotted. The older hair that has not fallen off will lighten and the new hair will emerge a darker color.

How are Airedales with cats?

SouthWest Airedale Terrier Rescue Frequently Asked Questions...
Even some Airedale owners are surprised to hear that Airedales will kill cats. This is because they have raised their Airedale from puppyhood with cats. If your cat has never lived with a dog, we will not place an Airedale with you. If you own a cat that has lived successfully with large active dogs, SWAT will only offer you an Airedale which is known to have lived peacefully with cats or has been tested with cats to gauge their reaction.

WHAT MEDICATIONS ARE BAD FOR AIREDALES?

Woodcrest Kennel LLC - Airedale Terriers - FAQ & Policie...
When the Airedale undergoes surgery of any kind that requires anesthesia (including spay/neuter) you should require the use of Propofol on the dog. You should never use or allow the use of ACE on your Airedale (ACE is often used as a pre-med by Vets).

Is it true that I don't have to go on a strict candida diet?

ThreeLac Candida Yeast Infections Vaginal Infection Treatmen...
Yes, ThreeLac seems to get the job done, even if you are not on a strict diet. You would probably see faster results if you were on a strict diet, and we do suggest moderating your sugar intake. Eating foods that feed candida helps it to grow faster so it will probably take longer for ThreeLac to work.

Chicagoland Bearded Collie Club FAQ
Groomed properly, they shed minimally. Most of the dead hair will be removed by the comb and brush. The worst shed is when they lose their puppy coat, usually between nine months and eighteen months. This lasts for approximately two to three months. During this period, they often lose their cuddly appearance and look scraggly and ragged, losing hair from the top to the bottom, or from the front to the rear.

Labradors don't shed, do they?

Labrador Retriever Rescue of North Texas_FAQ
Actually, they do. Labradors have what is called a double coat. This means that they have a soft, downy undercoat and a harder guard coat. These two types of coat help keep the dog warm and dry while swimming in cold waters when retrieving ducks. Generally Labradors will shed their coat twice a year. This is called "blowing" their coat. They are moderate shedders, not enthusiastic ones such as Alaskan Malamutes or German Shepherd Dogs.

Is it true that objects don't always get destroyed immediately when the last reference goes away?

Andy Mc's .NET Framework FAQ
Yes. The garbage collector offers no guarantees about the time when an object will be destroyed and its memory reclaimed. There was an interesting thread on the DOTNET list, started by Chris Sells, about the implications of non-deterministic destruction of objects in C#. In October 2000, Microsoft's Brian Harry posted a lengthy analysis of the problem. Chris Sells' response to Brian's posting is here.

Question: Is it true that Atkins Dieters don't eat Vegetables?

Atkins Diet FAQ's Frequently Asked Questions
That is completely false. Atkins is not an all protein diet. Much of the news media have portrayed Atkins as an all meat and cheese diet which is simply untrue. It's best to stay away from starchy vegetables such as beets, potatoes and carrots. During the Induction phase, you'll eat three cups of certain vegetables each day, primarily salad greens and other raw salad ingredients. During the other phases of the diet you gradually increase the amount of vegetables in your diet.

Is it true that abusers just "lose control" and don't realize what they are doing?

Questions about Abuse
No. If abusers were out of control and did not realize what they were doing, then why are the bruises and other signs of abuse in less noticeable places, such as the stomach or the lower back? There would be more domestic violence related homicides as well, if the abuser had been out of control and unaware of his/her actions.
