As I sit thinking about the past several years with Airedale Terriers, a number of things come to mind. First of all how much I love the companionship of these fine animals and secondly how wonderful the day becomes as I spend time with them. A perfect day seems to start with a walk in the woods, a run along the river, a trek up the frozen creek, or if we are really lucky a hike in the mountains. Even a walk around the block can be rewarding as we greet old and new friends. A line I once heard which might be appropriately placed here goes something like this, "Dogs aren't our whole lives, but they make our lives whole."

Alison Poole and family of Brightburn Airedale Terriers (reg'd) have devoted the past eight years to raising, grooming, showing, training and enjoying their dynamic Airedale Terriers. Our home is located in Edmonton, Alberta Canada, the "City of Champions", where our dogs and children thrive on plenty of fresh air, exercise and sunshine! We are dedicated to the Airedale Terrier, and we follow a breeding program, which emphasizes good health, temperament, conformation, intelligence and hunting instincts. Our dogs are both CKC registered Champions and either hold or are working on titles in obedience. Alison is a member of:

and abides by all responsible breeding guidelines. Our puppies are family-raised inside our home with plenty of love and TLC. They are gently handled on a daily basis, producing dogs with excellent socialization.
