Linda J.

Certified Breeder of Airedale Terriers

Meet the breeder

I'm the breeder behind Lynaire Kennels located in New Bern, NC. I breed and show Airedale Terriers. All my dogs are health tested and guaranteed. I have been breeding for 35 years. I am a past president and past board member of the Airedale Terrier Club of America and remain very active in the sport of dogs, attending seminars and judging.

Q. & A. with Linda

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I purchased my first show Airedale who was a sweeps winner at Montgomery. She was Best of Opposite Sex the following year. I decided to breed her with my mentor's help. Four of her pups finished their AKC Championship and I became a breeder!
  • What makes your program special?

    I have bred over 40 Champions including the 2017 breed winner at Montgomery and the 2019 breed winner at Westminster.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

Breeder-Reported Testing

Great level

Lynaire Kennels 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 (rDVM, not 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.
