AUSTRALIAN TERRIER

History - The Australian terrier is descended from Cairn, Skye, and Yorkshire terriers among others. It was used as a ratter in 19th century Australia.

Temperament - Australian terriers are affectionate, entertaining, and energetic little dogs. They do fine with young children if raised with them and if they are not teased.  Although originally bred to kill small vermin, they may be able to live peacefully with cats if raised with them, but pity the poor dog that picks a fight with an Aussie.  These terriers are pugnacious and tenacious; they will not back down.

Upkeep - Needs dog needs to be brushed two to three times a week.  Daily exercise should include a romp in a secured area and a few brisk walks.

Size - height 10-11 inches, weight 12 - 14 pounds.
