The Australian Terrier is a small, sturdy, and spirited breed originally developed in Australia to hunt vermin and guard homes and farms. Known for its alert expression and rough, weather-resistant coat, the Aussie embodies courage, intelligence, and loyalty. Despite its compact size, it carries itself with confidence and a big-dog attitude. Friendly and affectionate with family and friends. The Australian Terrier is both a devoted companion and a capable working terrier — full of heart, character, and true Australian grit.
