What is "airedales"

Usage examples of "airedales".

Silent Pool was dredged, light aircraft flew low over the area looking for traces and a pack of Airedales and bloodhounds were tracked over the ground, all to no avail.

That wet afternoon in the inner courtyard at Brixton, with the killer Airedales sniffing around at the end of their leads, and the trusty boys planting out crysanths in the sooty flower beds, the feeling came over me more strongly than ever, stronger than the fear of death.
