Does anyone own airedale terriers?

Question

i would love to own one are they expensive?

Answer 1

You'll want to get one from a good breeder to avoid any issues with aggression or health

You'll have to pay for obedience classes because without them you will have an uncontrollable dog constantly looking for a fight

You'll have to pay for the surgery after the dog gets out without a leash and gets hurt

You'll have to buy the neighbor a new cat after the dog eats it

You'll have to pay for the exploratory surgery after the airedale eats something it shouldn't, for the tenth time

You'll have to pay for your broken arm after your arm connects with the dog's brick head

You'll have a friend for life that will never allow for a dull moment
