Australian Terrier Breed Dog



by Queenie1

The Australian Terrier was used in the past as a snake killer in and a watch dog. From the shoulder he stands 10"-11" and he weighs 10 - 18 lbs. This breed has a sturdy body with short legs and a docked tail. The fur is straight and hard with a soft undercoat. This dog sheds little.

The Australian Terrier is a very smart, bright dog aware of things and he has great senses. He is very affectionate with his owners but shy of strangers. This breed responds well to early firm, precise training. This dog breed is good with older children but may not be good around younger children. The Australian Terrier has a strong prey drive towards small animals like cats, rabbits, etc.

Apartment living is okay for this breed but he will need several walks a day. You will need time to train and socialize this breed. If you leave him alone to long he may bark or dig alot outside.
