About Us

When Winston became part of my family in 1994, I became truly hooked on Airedales.  In true Airedale fashion, he was an incredible clown.  In fact, because of his great disposition and sense of humor, I decided to get into showing and breeding Airedales.

Chelsea was the foundation of my breeding program.  Her wonderful disposition and loving attitude won my heart from the day I got her.  She was a true champion in and out of the show ring.  She produced a number of champions, all with the same sweet temperament and winning ways.  Chelsea's children and grandchildren have inherited her wonderful disposition, happy attitude and mischievous ways.

At Winsea, we strive to produce puppies of quality, temperament and health who are excellent representatives of the breed, both in the show ring and in their homes.  We occasionally have puppies, young show dogs or and older dogs for sale.  We are always willing to answer questions and to assist in any way we can.

Our Goals

The primary goal at Winsea is to provide the best quality Airedale Terriers that conform as closely as possible to the standards of the breed.  We breed healthy puppies with excellent temperaments and personalities.  Hips are x-rayed in all breeding stock for signs of hip dysplasia.

Temperament is of paramount importance, whether in the show ring or in the home, and Winsea litters are carefully evaluated for behvioral characteristics.  Each puppy is unique and has a distinct personality and every effort is made to match the most desirable and suitable puppy with its new family.

Winsea breeding stock and show dogs are first and foremost family members and, more often than not, can be found leisurely reclining on a bed or chair.  Puppies are whelped in our home and spend their first 8 weeks in the family room where they are well socialized and become accustomed to the everyday sights, sounds and events that help them become confident companions when taken to their new homes.
