Airadale

I hunt with a buddy who has a half airedale/half german shepherd dog. It was an accidental breeding and he got a pup from his uncle just to see what he would do. Looks wise it could probably pass for a full airedale. That dog is a hog finding machine. If a hog is around, he wont give up until he finds it. And if you hear him barking, you can bet it is a big hog. That dog is usually bark, bark, catch. He has crossed the dog once with a BMC and got two solid dogs out of it, and I have an 8mo old pup now out of his second cross to a different BMC and it is showing lots of potential.

I have internet reseached the breed quite a bit looking for a dog, just because I like to be different, but have found what most others here have said. Its hard to find one that is actually hunting bred. Most that I came across were all show ponies. If you come across some good hunting bred ones, post it up here, because I would be interested.
