Meet the breeder

I'm shel g., the breeder behind Mar Vista Airedales located in Los Angeles, CA. We enjoy showing our dogs & occasionally offer puppies from our Champion Airedale Terriers.

We are members of the National and California Airedale Clubs.

Q. & A. with shel

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I bought several really nice show dogs. Our first were Lakeland Terriers. We later added an Airedale. We were thrilled to have success in showing our dogs. We later decided after many years of showing that we wanted to pass on excellent traits that were befitting of breed type and temperament.
  • What makes your program special?

    We are there for all our owners. You are getting a pup that is well bred and have multiple generations of top winning dogs in their direct pedigree. Our dogs are all CHIC certified.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include grizzle and tan and black and tan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

Breeder-Reported Testing

Excellent level

    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.

  • Thyroid (Autoimmune Thyroiditis, registered with OFA)

    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.
