ROBROYD HISTORY.

Our first Airedale, we bought in 1984 as a companion, we named her Rob-Royd Gem. I mentioned to my husband 'What a Gem'. Hence her name is carried on by naming all our Airedales 'Gems' - Precious or semi-precious stones & Minerals etc. We lost Gem in November 1998 aged 14 years - she is sadly missed by all the family.

Our old faithful ''Barney'' our 1st Champion Shadli Magnum at Robroyd born 24/8/86 - died January 2000

We both judge the Airedale Terrier at K.C. Championship level.

 Robroyd Diamond X  Robroyd Bronzite  (BVA/KC Hip Score 4 - 3)

Retired from the Show Ring at the age of 20 months -superb animation -Hands on this dog has pleased many Judges, as near to the standard as any dog can possibly be in type and above all his showmanship. Granite - pet name is George - is a hard rock -Quartz - which contains many Crystals. This is an apt name for such a dog. We remember him strutting around his puppy pen at the age of five weeks demanding the attention but always in a playful manner, which becomes a future King!  

His 1st Dog C.C. Manchester Ch Show Judged by Herbert Atkinson. Granite won Best Puppy in Breed and his first Challenge Certificate. 

His critique reads, 'Only 10 months old on the day and what a prospect, correct temperament & characteristics, you cannot ignore him, good head and ears, straight front, well laid shoulders, level top-line & short coupled, moved with style and was well presented, hind movement just needs to tighten up'. His 2nd Dog C.C & B.O.B. Scottish Kennel Club Judged by Vincent Mitchell. ' What a pleasure that in ones first class (P.D) such a lovely young dog should appear, he came into the ring with such confidence, showing with great animation & elegance & then on going over him there were no disappointments, head and eye, lovely neck, shoulders and top-line, in immaculate coat & condition. Pleasure to award him first place and then subsequently C.C. & B.O.B at his tender age. I sincerely hope that he will achieve the success that I envisage. 

'His 3rd Dog C.C. B.O.B. Southern Counties Judged by Mavis Lodge (Mynair) ' a mature eleven and a half month old puppy of lovely type and style, beautiful head and ears, dark eye & correct mouth, excellent neck and shoulders, short solid body, with good coat, tail set and bone, he has a good turn of stifle and low hocks, well presented, was my B.O.B. his 3rd and still in puppy class.

'Only just out of puppy he won his 4th C.C. & B.O.B. at Leeds Judged by Barbara Jull  this won his title of Champion.

sire Robroyd Jet x Robroyd Imperial Jade.    

 shown only a few times,  at the age of 6 months  she won minor puppy class at the N.A.T.Ass Ch  Show, and 'Jewel' won Best in Show.

We decided to leave her at home and enter her when Jet and Jewel had finished showing. Then at the age of 3 years we decided to enter her,  it was her 1st class and....she won Res CC at the LKA. say no more!

Yes,   definitely another champion  in our eyes. Retired Ruby after her first adult show... the LKA. she  showed true character, personality, and the true Terrier spirit, she is  and will always be a fantastic Airedale with fire, that's the breed, King of the Terriers.
