We are willing to teach you with love, care and respect.

​Please note: 
​1) We Freaking LOVE Airedales!
​We are a hobby breeder. This is not our primary source of income. We usually have only 1 litter per year
​
​2) We do not breed a litter until we have 5-6 families with deposits in waiting for a puppy.

​3) We feed raw, and we limit vaccines.

DELLA'S SON - GIMLI

"Baker" is by Rock Ranch Freedom Hunter out of Rock Ranch It's A Wonderful Life (Zuzu)

"Baker" @ 5 months old. Summer 2019.

​       We are the BURNS family..... a small horse farm, close-knit, home school family located in northeastern PA. 

       We have been 'Airedale People' for over 26 years now!  Our children have all grown up with Airedales, and now our grandchildren.
​       Bob is a horse shoer (blacksmith) and Lorna and Bob have a history in horse training and horse breeding. (see 'About Us' drop down menu)
It only made sense to expound upon our love for the Airedale and offer this amazing breed to families like yours. 
​
​We thank God for his blessings!  The sacrifice of Jesus his Son which we could do NOTHING to deserve.  God's Grace in providing a way for sinful man to be held blameless and be considered righteous by a Holy God (can you imagine?). 
Being adopted into the Family of God! 
​Family is so important.
Family is a huge part of the blessings God has provided to us, and our Airedales are part of our family.  Airedales aren't actually dogs...   they are people in furry suits. :0)

We'd like to show you what we've been doing, and a picture is worth a THOUSAND words! 
If you have never had the pleasure of knowing an Airedale, we have attempted here to give you a
​VIRTUAL TOUR of AIREDALE-DOM.  
If you are considering an Airedale as part of your family and have never owned one, please visit and read each page. 
​It is our hope that this website will help you gain an honest understanding of the Airedale, as
​they are not for everyone.

 WHO WE ARE .....
​"Part of every misery is, so to speak, the misery's shadow or reflection:
​the fact that you don't merely suffer but have to keep on thinking about the fact that you suffer. I not only live each endless day in grief, but live each day thinking about living each day in grief." - C.S. Lewis
​    
        As a family we have endured many years of what most people would consider hardships and trials. 
​Without Jesus we would not have made it through, and He continues to be our strength! 
Our life's goal is to be an ENCOURAGEMENT by whatever means possible. 
Our family, our life story, our Airedales, any talents God has given us ...... we Lay at His feet. 

Our Airedales live with us (2013)

EYE OF THE STORM - Ryan Stevenson

In the Eye of the Storm
​You remain in control
In the middle of the war
​You guard my Soul
​You alone are the Anchor
When my sails are torn
​YOUR LOVE surrounds me
​In the Eye of the Storm

​When the solid ground
is falling out
from underneath my feet
Between the black skies,
and my red eyes,
I can barely see
When I realize I've been sold out
by my friends and my family
I can feel the rain reminding me

In the Eye of the Storm, You remain in control
In the middle of the war, You guard my Soul
You alone are the Anchor, when my sails are torn
Your love surrounds me
in the Eye of the Storm

When my hopes and dreams are far from me,
and I'm runnin' out of faith
I see the future I pictured
slowly fade away
And when the tears of pain and heartache
are falling down my face
I find my peace in JESUS' name

ROCK RANCH GALILEO BRUIN ------------2 YO --------- (Rock Ranch Stellar Della x Lawrences Shadow Fax by Reydale Terrydale Daredevil by STARGUS GALILEO)

Although we do not show, our Airedales are quality. 
You will recognize some of the best foundation bloodlines in Airedale history in our breeding stock.

​  We are interested in producing dogs which would be in keeping with the breed standard, and feel conformation is key to longevity. 

Temperament, however, is paramount when considering welcoming a dog into your home, your family and your life.  We extensively temperament test our pups and only keep the most "people friendly" candidates as potential breeding stock.

WHY WE LOVE AIREDALES .....

This talented sporty hunter is the perfect combination of intelligence and goofy humor.
Intuitive, tenacious, athletic, charming, graceful, friendly -- these are just some of the words that describe the Airedale. 
Few breeds manage to wrap such erratic antics up in a furry package of devotion, elegance and charm. 

  "Trust In You" -  lauren daigle

Letting go of every single dream
I lay each one down at Your feet
Every moment of my wandering
Never changes what You see

I’ve tried to win this war I confess
My hands are weary I need Your rest
Mighty Warrior, King of the fight
No matter what I face, You’re by my side

When You don’t move the mountains I’m needing You to move
When You don’t part the waters I wish I could walk through
When You don’t give the answers as I cry out to You
I will trust, I will trust, I will trust in You!

Truth is, You know what tomorrow brings
There’s not a day ahead You have not seen
So, in all things be my life and breath
I want what You want Lord, and nothing less

When You don’t move the mountains I’m needing You to move
When You don’t part the waters I wish I could walk through
When You don’t give the answers as I cry out to You
I will trust, I will trust, I will trust in You!

You are my strength and comfort
You are my steady hand
You are my firm foundation; the rock on which I stand

Your ways are always higher
Your plans are always good
There’s not a place where I’ll go, You’ve not already stood

When You don’t move the mountains I’m needing You to move
When You don’t part the waters I wish I could walk through
When You don’t give the answers as I cry out to You
I will trust, I will trust, I will trust in You!

SCHOOL WORK WITH THE TURK MAN.

​CALL IT GRACE - Unspoken

​It's the light that pierces through you
To the darkest hidden place
It knows your deepest secrets
But it never looks away
It's the gentle hand that pulls you
From the judgement of the crowd
When you stand before them guilty
And you got no way out

Some may call it foolish and impossible
But for every heart it rescues, it's a miracle
It's nothing less than scandalous
This love that took our place
Just call it what it is, call it grace
Call it grace
