BACKGROUND
Proudly Australian, the breed evolved from
a variety of British terriers that had been brought out to: this country
by settlers. Specifically bred for Australian conditions, this hard-bitten
tough little terrier was used for everything from guarding the farms and
mines to hunting, and from tending the sheep to killing rats and snakes.
Although essentially a working terrier, the
"Aussie" as they are affectionately known, soon endeared themselves to all
those with whom they came in contact as a very desirable companion dog in
their own right.
Equally suited to town or country living,
the Australian Terrier is noted for their loyalty, intelligence and even
disposition. They are neither highly strung nor a persistent barker, but
with their inbuilt spirit, courage and air of self assurance, happily
assumes the role of protector for home and household. Sturdy, with a harsh
easy-to-care for coat, and a history of longevity, the Australian Terrier
finds much favour as both an indoor and outdoor companion.
Affectionate and
well-mannered this spunky little dog tends to develop its own amusing and
endearing characteristics to delight the family.
