Welcome to pet talk!

I have to agree w/ every one else. If you plan on breeding I don't have anything wrong w/ it as long as you are doing it for the sole purpose of improving the breed and absolutely no other.

I have not noticed any mention of blood tests/x-rays either. Have your dogs been through all the tests for all possible illnesses/diseases/hereditary problems that are common for Airedales?

When I worked in a vets office we had 2 very experienced Airedale breeders, (they were great) but Airedales *can* be a very hard to breed dog, and c*an* be very dog aggressive so make sure you are aware of that when the pups come.

Again like said before I am sure you love your dogs & care for them well, but my experience is that an experienced breeder should of been doing re-search for years & years, w/ books, vets, other breeders, trainers etc.. etc..
I don't mean to be rude but there is really no other way to put it but if you are a true responsible breeder you should of looked into all possibilities of problems before the time comes. A true good breeder would of known the answer to this question way before the time comes.
