​We love sharing information – sometimes it’s small tidbits and other times its big juicy chunks of info, and every now and again it might be something as simple as a meme to make your smile.We hope you enjoy our blog – which is mostly dog focused but can occasionally be distracted (Travel Tuesday is a lovely distraction but also a great way to get new holiday ideas). ​

Riley - Dog of the Month.

Hi there,

I’m pretty excited to be June Dog of the Month for Dogs Country Club and thought I might share some pretty cool facts with you about the Airedale!



Did you know John Wayne had an Airedale named ‘Duke.’ This is where his own nickname stemmed from. Theodore Roosevelt, who served as the 26th President of the United State, chose Airedales as his hunting dogs. He’s known for the statement; ‘The Airedale can do anything any other dog can do, then whip the other dog, if he has to.’

The Airedale was also used as one of the first breeds for police dogs in both Germany and Great Britain. Their fearless nature made them great for this line of work and they also served as message carriers in several wars, battling through to serve their purpose even when injured. They were great to use not only for sending messages but for rodent control and bird hunting.




From 1864 and onward their earlier whelps were known as working, Waterside and Bingley Terriers. Sadly, when the Titanic went down, two Airedale’s were on board and sadly lost their lives.

Airedale’s have played a significant part in history and a few of us have even become famous…. I like to think of myself as pretty famous here at the Resort.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Riley.
