The Chief engaged in a lengthly nationwide search for an Airedale Terrier pup from working/hunting parents. The search ended May 17 in Titusville, PA. The Chief had the pick of the litter and choose the big, calm male pup and named him Woodrow after the famous Texas Ranger, Captain Woodrow F. Call.
After nearly 20 years of living with little Jack Russell Terriers we decided to adopt an Airedale, the King of Terriers. Airedales are fearless and majestic in appearance. Their courage is unquestioned, but they are not quarrelsome. They don't start fights, they finish them.
Most colorful among early Airedale fans was Theodore Roosevelt, who chose Airedales for his big-game hunting trips. “The Airedale” declared Teddy, “can do anything any other dog can do, then lick the other dog, if he has to.”
Woodrow seems special. In just three days at age seven weeks, he can sit, stay, come and shit on the floor. He has two speeds...Neutral and All Out. He investigates everything and anything and loves water.
Woodrow aspires to be a rabbit catcher, pheasant, grouse, duck and goose retriever and cat killer. He is well on his way as he is already attacking and eating June Bugs. It seems though Woodrow has taking a shining to the Fair Maiden. He follows her everywhere while the Chief has to lure him with treats.

Great looking pup Chief. I can’t blame Woodrow for following the Fair Maiden, says a lot for his taste.
Didn’t you teach him how to piss on the floor yet? Your slackin, that should have been taught right after shittin on the floor.
Hopefully Woodrow will be ready to make the trip to the Rossiter Lodge.
2 Days and counting, I started the shopping today
ad a beautiful grey fox pelt hanging from my floor lamp at my recliner for many years and my JRT's ignored it. Woodrow spotted it for the first time and went head on. The Fair Maiden saved the lamp. Within a month or two, the resident rabbits, squirrels and the neighbor's cat will have a reckoning for sure. God save them. I taught him, "Get'em Woodrow" today. The "Clicker" training method really works. Should have used it on the Fair Maiden. Could have trained her in two weeks.
