I began showing Airedales in 1983 with an obedience dog.  Soon after, I purchased my first show Airedale, D'Aire Ruffles and Flourishes, "Katy".  Prior to her second birthday she was hit by a car and died.  I began again with D'Aire Beautiful Noise, "Chelsea", as my foundation bitch. She produced many generations of champions for me.  My last Airedale champion was "Marley" CH Katydid Saltimbocca. (below, "Chelsea", CH D'Aire Beautiful Noise) CH D'Aire Beautiful Noise (far right) with her champion get at Twin Cities Airedale Club specialty at Lake Minnetonka Minnesota: Karen with CH Katydid Water Strider; Judy Howell with Am/Can CH Katydid D'Estiny at Monterra, Can CD; Diane Schlicht with CH D'Aire Apparent; and CH Katydid Up In D'Aire. Katydid dogs include: CH D'Aire Beautiful Noise D'Aire Ruffles N Flourishes Am/Can CH Katydid D'Estiny at Monterra, Can CD AM/Can CH Katydid Water Strider, Can CD CH Katydid Up In D'Aire CH D'Aire Katydid It Katydid Lacewing CH Katydid Arnold Schwarznegger Am/Can CH Katydid Firefly Snapdragon Can CH Bulairo Cool Runnings CH Katydid Saltimbocca CH Secwynn Pizzazz (Welsh Terrier) CH Red Oak's Ericka of Katydid (Smooth Fox Terrier) As always, all were completely health tested with most breedings as excellent (hips) to excellent.  During the ATCA Nationals at Montgomery County (Pennsylvania), I attended a session taught by Corally Burmaster (www.clickertraining.com) on clicker training and I was hooked!  The method worked so well on my dogs and this paved the way to training all around dogs.
