Built From a Life With Airedale Terriers

MYDOG™ is built on Kirk Altenburg’s hands-on experience living, working, breeding, and showing Airedale Terriers. For Kirk, dog gear is not an afterthought. It is part of the daily work of raising healthy dogs, preparing for the show ring, traveling well, keeping a clean setup, and giving each dog a dependable place to rest.

That experience guides what MYDOG™ offers: quality collapsible aluminum dog kennels, high-quality toys, and carefully chosen supplies for people who want better equipment for the dogs in their care.

Meet Kirk Altenburg

Kirk and Lynne Altenburg are the breeders behind Airedales of Blue Ridge Virginia. Their dogs are raised at home on several acres of farm property, with an emphasis on health, temperament, conformation, and the distinct character of the Airedale Terrier.

Their goal is straightforward: breed healthy, show-quality Airedales with the temperaments to become loved family companions. They also offer help with home training, show handling, puppies, and stud service.

Experience in the Show Ring

The Airedale is known as the King of Terriers: intelligent, confident, athletic, and full of character. Kirk’s appreciation for the breed is grounded in the work it takes to develop and present these dogs well.

Airedales of Blue Ridge Virginia proudly features Arily Lynnes’s Bright Beacon Madelynne, an AKC Champion at just 15 months old. That accomplishment reflects the attention required at every stage: thoughtful breeding, daily care, training, conditioning, grooming, travel, and calm handling when it matters.

Show experience changes how a person looks at equipment. A kennel is not simply a place to put a dog. It becomes a familiar rest space at home, a practical setup in the vehicle, and a clean, secure station at a show or training event.

Why Collapsible Aluminum Kennels

Kirk understands the demands placed on a kennel because he has worked around dogs who need dependable routines. Doors and latches are handled repeatedly. Kennels are cleaned, moved, loaded, set up, stored, and used again. They need to be practical for the owner and comfortable for the dog.

That is why collapsible aluminum kennels are at the center of MYDOG™. They offer a strong, clean, organized setup for breeders, handlers, trainers, traveling owners, and families building a better dog station at home. A quality kennel should hold up to real use, clean up easily, store efficiently, and look right wherever the dog goes.

Helping Professionals and Everyday Owners

Not everyone who cares deeply about dogs is a professional handler. Some people are preparing for their first show. Some are welcoming an Airedale puppy. Some simply want a stronger, cleaner kennel and better supplies for the dog that shares their home.

Kirk’s passion for helping others shapes MYDOG™: supporting experienced handlers and breeders as well as first-time owners who want equipment that makes everyday care more orderly and more comfortable. Along with collapsible aluminum kennels, MYDOG™ supplies high-quality toys and dog essentials selected for real routines: rest, training, travel, enrichment, cleanup, and time together.

From Our Dogs to Yours

MYDOG™ brings together Kirk’s commitment to Airedale Terriers, his experience in the show world, and his belief that good dogs deserve good equipment. Whether your dog is headed for the show ring, traveling for the weekend, or resting at home after a walk, the right setup makes a difference.
