WinDancer Airedales
Meet the breeder
I'm Nancy S., 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.
Q. & A. with Nancy
Why did you start breeding?
We had our first litter with our 2nd female Airedale Terrier, Shiraz, in 2008. Our work schedules combined with the commute times and raising a family kept us from breeding dogs.What makes your program special?
Our program is special because we treat our dogs like family. We provide you with grooming, training and mentoring. We do a lot of health testing, provide microchipping, AKC registration and offer 30-day free AKC pet insurance.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Parent dogs
Stella, mom
Airedale Terrier
About Stella
We imported Stella from Russia in early 2020 just a few days prior to the Covid-19 travel restrictions. Her sire, Windancer Newton for Sher, was bred by us and then he was exported to Russia where he has been recognized with multiple BIS and group placements and earned multiple international championship titles. We are delighted to have received a puppy back from his breeder/handler N. Mikheeva in Russia. The dam, Sher Tamako Cute is from her line of Airedales. Stella is a recognized multi-international champion and AKC Grand Champion, also. She enjoys going on bike run, long quick-paced walks and participating in many performance events line Rally Obedience, Agility, Fast Cat and Barn Hunt. She is my Velcro dog who wants to be wherever I am. She is an active dog who has a remarkably calm manner around children. Stella is a doting momma to her pups, too!
