The spirited Australian Terrier is descended from the Cairn Terrier, Skye Terrier and Yorkshire Terriers, among others. It was used as a ratter in 19th-century Australia. 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. Australian terriers are pugnacious and tenacious--they will not back down. 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.

The Australian Terrier's outer coat is harsh and straight, about two to three inches long; the undercoat is short and soft. Coat color is blue and tan, solid red, or sandy. Australian Terriers need to be brushed two to three times a week. Daily exercise should include a romp in a secured area and a few brisk walks.
