Meet the breeder

I'm the breeder behind WinDancer Airedales located in Tracy, CA. As preservationist and AKC Breeder of Merit, it is important to breed dogs that adhere to the breed standard, while retaining the working, performance and show ability, as well as, thrive as a happy-go-lucky family member. Co-ownership benefits include grooming/training assistance. Our dogs are health tested for hips & elbows and more. All our puppies are microchipped, AKC registered, health certified and receive their first vaccinations. We rear our dogs and puppies on a species appropriate diet. Since EARLY Spay-Neuter is a such a high risk for serious injury in young dogs, we require new owners to wait until the puppy has reached at least 18 months before even considering a spay or neuter procedure. Our puppies are raised in a home environment offering socialization with other adult Airedales, children, adults, crate training, noise desensitizing, vehicle travel and potty training. Bill and I put a lot effort into the breeding and care of our Windancer Airedale line.
