What reading level is The Airedale book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Ever since he has kept do- mestic animals, his selection, formerly more or less unconscious, has been exerting its powerful force. For generations, the dog fanciers have been doing this : picking out the dogs and bitches most to their liking and mating them. The re- sult is that while all breeds of dogs are closely enough related to inter-breed, still some are of comparative age and most breed wonderfully true to type.
Until quite recently, the dog breeders have been following the old, unscient...ific method, with some additional effort to correct faulty points in their dogs. That is, they have picked out in- dividuals for breeding stock that came as near as possible to their ideals, and if the prospective mother was bad in head they selected a stud dog 52 THE AIREDALE strong in this point; while a very good coated matron might be mated to a poor coated dog pro- vided he possessed marked excellencies in other directions.
Unfortunately, but very scant attention was paid to the dams. This was largely from eco- nomical considerations, which led them to believ- ing, or thinking they did merely because they wanted to, that " any old bitch with a pedigree was good enough to breed from.
