The Australian Terrier

The Australian Terrier is a small breed of terrier type dog. The breed was developed in Australia, hence the name 'Australian Terrier.' However the breed is descended from the rough coated terriers that originate from Great Britain. The Australian Terrier, like most terrier type dogs, was developed to hunt mice, rats and other small vermin. The breed has small legs and a small compact body structure. They have a long shaggy coat that is not normally trimmed. The Australian Terrier is known to have a mischievous, upbeat and energetic personality and will always have a strong affectionate attachment to their family unit. The breed is known to be highly empathetic and will often match your mood - for example if you are sad your Australian Terrier will be quiet and subdued whereas if you are happy your Australian Terrier will be energetic and playful. It is important to note that the breed does not do well around other small animals. The Australian Terrier was developed to hunt and has a strong prey instinct. Due to this the breed is known to kill rabbits, squirrels and even small cats.
