Australian Terrier

Australian Terrier, Terrier, Terrier dog breed

As the name suggests, the Australian Terrier was bred specifically to suit the harsh Australian conditions. They are very friendly and intelligent and love playing outdoors. These are a great choice for a family pet as they are easy to train with basic commands and are happiest when around people and playing.

If you are going to spend a lot of time outdoors with your dog, this is a great choice as it does not require as much grooming as some of the other smaller breeds. I personally know lots of families with this dog breed and am yet to meet one that I don’t like.

The average lifespan is around 13 years, but can be as high as 16 or 17 years in rare cases

Bitches will normally grow to around 20cm tall and weigh around 5kg in peak condition, whilst males will be a bit larger at around 24cm and weigh up to 7kgs.

Sorry, there are no photos at this stage. If you have a great example of this breed please email me at dr.caroline@hotmail.co.uk and I will put it up on the site!
