We are in the market for a puppy since our Dobey passed. (best dog ever) Thinking of getting a Airedale, one of the few large dogs that do not shed or doesn't shed a lot.
No I don't want some poodle mix.

Why must it be a big dog?

They taste gamey, no matter how you long you sauté

They can be very sharp dogs why not get a dog that has not been all fricked up by breeders in the past 20 years

My neighbors had one when I was a kid. Great dog. Very mellow.
This was in the early 70’s though, so I can’t promise you the breed has not evolved.

If you're going to get a puppy, why not get another dobe?

Why not a standard poodle?

Have a friend who has one now and had two before. They seem to be good dogs with an even temperament from what I can tell. When we visit I never feel like its annoying or bad, and he hasn't done any special training. The dog seems happy and gets along with kids and other dogs including a smaller more active dog and a puppy. Don't know anything about their health traits or issues, but I've been around much worse.

Fantastic, beautiful dogs with a whole nother level of energy. Get it trained early and keep up with the training. They are a handful but a wonderful breed.
Maybe it was just my brothers dog but that was his experience.

Check out soft-coated wheaten terriers. We love ours!
ETA also large/non-shedding

Standard poodle, I wanted an Irish terrier but wife wanted a standard poodle.... he’s 75 lbs of steel almost 2 years old and smart as hell and dumb as hell at the same time. He can’t help but run to meet another person or dog, cat, anything... but he’s also protective of the house and my wife/kids. Never thought I’d get one but no regrets

I've always liked Airedales and have enjoyed the ones I've spent time with but never owned one so can't add much there.
As for non-shedding though, take a look at Standard or Giant Schnauzers. Very different from the toy miniatures. Giants are kinda goofy like a Great Dane, great family members but also very protective against outsiders. I've had a Giant before and he was a wonderful dog. He forgot he wasn't so little anymore and still wanted in my lap and loved to be babied, but also loved to have a job to do and would give his life if needed to protect his family. I'd love to have one again when my daughter gets a little older but would also consider a Standard. The Giant is frankly a lot of dog and that comes with a bigger food bill and waste issues. Standard has all the benefits of the Giant without being quite so big.

We just brought home a standard poodle puppy 3 weeks ago and we’re thrilled with our choice. Go that route

Welsh Terriers look a lot like Airedales just smaller

my in laws neighbor's have a pair. like most dogs they required a little training as puppies but they are both great dogs. the female loves to go running with its owners, the male is a lazy SOB lol. They do require a haircut a few times a year. In my opinion they seem to be good dogs and have a good temperament the few times i have been around them.

Grew up with them in my house, my parents have had them for the past 40+ years. We've had 4 in my lifetime
They are amazing around kids and protective in a non-aggressive manner. 2 of the last 3 males would sit on my mom's foot when there was work being done on the house and they went to talk to her.
The last 2 we had were brother/sister. Sister was absolutely a diva and as the name goes a "bitch". She sadly passed away this year. Her brother is still alive at 12 and he is just the most friendly dog ever.
From my experience they dont do a lot of "dog" things. They don't play with toys or balls often, they don't really "cuddle" because they are terriers.
They dig
I'll see if anything else comes up as I think about it
