The pronouncement was made by Hizzoner Pete Onslaught at a news conference.
"After many years of study, perhaps two or three hours, We have determined that henceforth the breed's name is changed from 'Airedale Terriers': they will now be called AirDale Terriers."

"This follows the new direction of the breed. We all know that a compact dog makes a healthier, more attractive dog. In addition, it is more environmentally friendly, since it takes in less oxygen and uses less gas when driving its Maserati around town (since everyone knows that AirDale owners are smarter, better looking, and wealthier than other breed owners)."
"As well, the global trend has been miniaturization. Moore's Law dictates that units become more powerful and smaller every 18 months, and so we have determined that the old standard is far behind the times. Hence the new, improved AirDale units. The new, improved AirDale male dog will be no taller than six inches at the shoulder; females will be 1/2 inch tall and viewable through a microscope."
"The new standard takes effect immediately. Competition judges are to take note of the new regulations."

Bigger while less efficient with transportation costs does allow for larger packages of Bacon to be carried home. Just saying.
ReplyDeleteAt least the black and tan coloring remains true to Airedale fashion! ;-)
