#62: Is the Airedale Terrier the Ultimate Do-It-All Hunting Dog?
Episode 59
Sunday, August 16, 2026 • Duration 50:12
Most bird hunters think of Springers, Labs, or German Shorthairs when they picture an upland dog. But what about an Airedale Terrier?
In this episode of Go Flush Yourself, Matt and Jared sit down with hunter, retired Army veteran, and outdoor television host Eric Morris to talk about one of the most misunderstood hunting breeds around.
Eric shares why he chose an Airedale after years hunting with a Chesapeake Bay Retriever, how his dog Priest performs on upland birds and waterfowl, what makes the breed so unique, and why he believes the Airedale deserves far more respect among hunters.
The conversation also ventures into hunt tests, versatile hunting dogs, training philosophy, and stories from hunts across North America and Africa.
Whether you’re devoted to your current bird dog or simply curious about lesser-known working breeds, this episode offers a fascinating look at a dog that refuses to fit neatly into one category.
