Summary
About Airedale Terrier
The Airedale Terrier is the largest terrier, an athletic, wiry‑coated dog that sheds little but needs regular grooming. Bright, independent and energetic, it needs varied training and 1.5–2 hours of daily exercise. Loyal, playful and watchful, it makes a versatile family and working companion.
About Tibetan Mastiff
Ancient Himalayan guardian breed, large and powerful yet agile, with a thick weather‑proof coat and lion‑like mane. Calm indoors but strongly territorial and vocal when guarding. Deeply loyal, independent, aloof with strangers, and best suited to experienced owners.
