Lots of folks have tried running them with stags, but it only takes a race or two to see they cant come close to staying up. Usually someone with fast dogs with no heart, think the airedale will help them at the fight. If the race is short enough sometimes it works, but on a long race the airedale is so far out of it, that the coyote will get up and whip off the fast dogs, and still get away. Truth is most the Airedale and Airedale crosses I fooled with werent much tougher than an average hound. They are terriers, but if the average jagd or patterdale was the same size, they would be twice the dogs, IMO.
I enjoyed most of them as dogs/companions, but when the work/evaluations got tougher they generally werent up to the task.
Take care.
