The Airedale Terrier is considered a “hypo-allergenic” breed – Airedales are often included in lists of hypo-allergenic dogs because they don’t shed as much as many dogs, but they do shed. Hypo means less and not none, as all breeds of dogs still produce a certain amount of allergens and dander.
How can I Help my Airedale Terrier lose weight?
You can help control your Airedale’s weight in several ways: by keeping consistent eating and exercise schedules; by not feeding the dog table scraps; and perhaps most important, by not “free-feeding” your Airedale. (Free-feeding is leaving food in the dog’s bowl all the time so it can eat whenever it wants.)
Why does my Airedale Terrier drool all the time?
In either case, if properly maintained the Airedale coat won’t leave many stray hairs on floors, clothes, and furniture.

If your Airedale Terrier is drooling excessively, it may be a sign of a medical issue, which means veterinary care is necessary.
