Why, this one was about big enough to go in a hat, that's all, and he was nearly two months old. But say, what I didn't know about Airedale pups was a heap. Grow! Honest, you could almost watch him lengthen out and fill in. Yet for a couple of weeks there he was no more'n a kitten, and just as cute and playful.
Why he is an outrage on the very word, which can only mean a dog to go to ground; and to what animal in the country of his birth can an Airedale go to ground?" Above ground and in water, however, an Airedale can, and does, perform in a very excellent manner everything that any other terrier can do.
As it was torn to pieces the Airedale emitted piercing cries of agony that reached Bruce and Langdon as they hurried panting and wind-broken up the slide that led from the basin. Thor dropped on his belly in the narrowed trail, and as the pack broke loose with fresh voice he continued to tear at his victim until the rock was smeared with blood and hair and entrails.
It's signed, 'Your affectionate guardian, James Kitson, Baron Airedale of Gledhow." "Whew!" spluttered Hobson, "the blighter has no limits. Do you mean to tell me he gets away with that folderol?" "For months he has lived at Lovaina's, Fanny's, and even on the Chinese. He has borrowed thousands of francs, and spent it for drink and often for champagne.
Spaniel and the various children would not be visible, for explanations would be too complicated. Desperately he praised the view to be obtained on another road, but Bishop Borzoi was too interested in his own topic to pay much attention. "By the way," said the latter, as they drew near the familiar region, "I must introduce you to Miss Airedale. She lives in the big place on the hill over there.
I never saw any creature so quick upon its feet as was that great Airedale, nor such frightful ferocity as he manifested in his attacks.
It is many-legged and hairless, its hide resembling that of a newborn mouse in repulsiveness. In size and weight it is comparable to a large Airedale terrier. Its eyes are small and close-set, and almost hidden in deep, fleshy apertures.
The tail is not very long, and should be nicely feathered, and in repose never raised above the level of the back. The same description applies to the drop-eared type, except that the ears in repose, instead of being carried erect, fall evenly on each side of the head. When, however, the dog is excited, the ears are pricked forward, in exactly the same fashion as those of the Airedale Terrier.
"It's very trying," said the doctor. "I know when my Airedale died, I said to my wife I'd never have another dog unless she could find me one that would live for ever. Ye remember my Airedale?" "Oh, quite well!" "Well, my wife said I should be bound to have another one sooner or later, and the sooner the better.
He wore the fiercely bristling whiskers of his Airedale father at the age of three months; his ears were flappy and big, his tail was knotted, and his legs were ungainly and loose, with huge feet at the end of them so big and heavy that he stumbled frequently, and fell on his nose. One pitied him at first and then loved him.
