Longvue Airedales
Meet the breeder
I'm April C., the breeder behind Longvue Airedales located in Selbyville, DE. We are serious, committed breeders/exhibitors. This has been our passion for 40+ years and we stand behind all of our pups. Our dogs are bred to produce healthy, sound, and versatile pups. Our ultimate goal is to produce athletic and well-structured canines that can excel within various performance venues and have the ability to be the greatest family companions.
Q. & A. with April
Why did you start breeding?
My first Airedale was “just a pet” and caused my love for the breed. In choosing a second Airedale, I purchased a show potential pup from a serious breeder who became my mentor. I showed the pup and under the guidance of my mentor, bred my first litter.What makes your program special?
We emphasize health, temperament, and type in our breeding program. All of our breeding stock is CHIC certified. We are Breeders of Merit and breeders with HEART (AKC programs). Our pups are known for outstanding temperaments and excellent breed type. Their quality is demonstrated regularly in the show and performance rings and most importantly, in the family home.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.

Parent health testing
Breeder-Reported Testing
Excellent level
Longvue Airedales reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Airedale Terriers.
Hip Dysplasia
Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.
Cardiac Evaluation (registered with OFA)
Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.
Brucellosis
A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.
DNA Profile
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
