HISTORY
The history of the origin of the breed ERDELTERIER is very interesting and fascinating. The “eardels” were born in royal BRITAIN, whose picturesque shores are washed by the world’s seas and oceans. In the picturesque, green kingdom, which is famous for its power and beauty and sparkles with the waters of the Atlantic.
Once upon a time in ancient times the Englishmen, who were passionate fans of hunting on water bodies, thought that it would be useful for them to have an intelligent and reliable hunting dog, which would be an invariable assistant in catching sea rats. And they wished to breed such a breed of HWOSTIK with a special purpose – pursuit of prey on land and in reservoirs. According to their decision it had to be a powerful, active dog, which will cope with all kinds of tasks, which will be strong and will cope with hunting on land and in water bodies. The area around the English River Eyre gave its name to the new breed, which was bred there by combining different breeds of fighting, hunting and working dogs.
Now our famous Favorite is considered to be the “KING OF TERRIERS ” because of his extraordinary strength and power. How he deftly behaves at sea and on land, in water bodies and dangerous swamps.
APPEARANCE AND CHARACTER
Erdelterriers are very cute and unusual in appearance. And probably almost every owner asked this question – “Why is this Pet so unique and unusual in its appearance?”. If we take a close look at this dog breed, we will see that its appearance is universal and combines certain breeds. A group of experts such as cynologists and hunters prove to us that Royal Terriers combine the virtues of breeds such as spaniel, retriever and pointer. This breed is included in the number of service dogs and its weight is about 20 kg. The height of the dog reaches about 58-61 cm, and the color is brown-red with a black neck and the upper side of the tail. The muscular body of the dog is covered with a stiff and thick coat. The head is rectangular, with a slight transition from forehead to muzzle, and the ears are floppy and bent forward. The tail is planted high. The human friend of the Airedale is considered to have a good character. Tails of this breed are always cheerful, energetic and temperamental. And cynologists say that they are also “smart” in their business, perfectly amenable to training and love to work. Hvostiki get along well with children and are patient and even in the most difficult situations, but you need to be careful in your behavior, because they can be too jealous of another dog, seeing the care, affection and care of their master in relation to the competitor.

Despite their good health and strength to hunt in bodies of water and the most difficult swampy areas, these LOLLERs are prone to some diseases. There were recorded cases of hip dysplasia, and also in dogs of this breed are diagnosed: cardiomypatia, hypotheriosis, von Willenbrand’s disease (hereditary blood disease), Addison’s disease (chronic insufficiency of the adrenal cortex), demodecosis (subcutaneous microscopic mite).

Annual diagnostics, examinations and prevention of certain diseases are the key to a healthy and safe future of your pet.
HOW TO CARE FOR AN EARDEL TERRIER’S COAT
Dogs of this breed are unpretentious and take root in various conditions. Erdel can live in villages, and in cities and even in unusual places. The main thing for them is always trust and care from their master.
Pets of this kind do not have a specific odor, and also do not shed at all, so living on your “cooch” will not be a problem at all. You will never notice the hair if you brush it occasionally, and the best way to do this is to trim the hair.
Trimming (stripping) is a special procedure in which dead hair is removed by plucking. The purpose of trimming is to accelerate the shedding of the dog, removing hairs that have died off. In this way, the dog’s coat and appearance becomes beautiful. Trimming and clipping an Eardel Terrier are completely different, so remember that clipping will only shape the coat and make it shorter, while trimming will remove dead hairs. You will preserve the structure of the coat and it will grow in the right direction. It is important to brush the tail several times a week. Veterinarians recommend using a metal comb with blunt teeth. The hair on the muzzle and around the lips should be trimmed and washed regularly. Washing over the lips is considered necessary after every meal to prevent the coat from curling, as it rolls up when the dog eats food. Make sure also that your Pet’s eyes are always washed with a decoction of herbs and do not forget to trim his nails. You will find the ROMACHA medicinal collection useful.
