I'm the breeder behind Glenayr Farm located in Brightwood, VA. On a sprawling and rural 58-acre farm, Glenayr Airedale Terriers are nurtured and raised the way nature intended with lots of open space, fresh air, and natural beauty. The land itself is part of the farm's holistic approach to dog breeding. Our farm is known for the quality of its AKC registered Airedales, and it has won many show titles all around the country.

Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.
