The Australian Terrier is a small, spirited, and tough breed, originally bred for hunting vermin and guarding farms. They are loyal, affectionate, and confident, making them great companions while still maintaining a terrier’s natural independence. Their wire-haired coat is low-shedding but requires regular brushing and occasional trimming to keep it in good shape. Training is moderately easy, as they are intelligent, but they can be stubborn, so consistent training with positive reinforcement works best. Their medium to high energy levels mean they enjoy daily walks and interactive play.
The Australian Terrier is a small working terrier developed in Australia during the early 19th century. It was bred from various British terrier breeds to assist settlers in controlling rodents and serving as watchdogs.
