The Australian Terrier is believed to be descended from a dog known as the Rough-Coated Terrier, a relative of the old Scotch dog of Great Britain. Breed researchers have some consensus of opinion that this Terrier was crossed with other British Terriers who were brought to Australia, including the precursor of the Dandie Dinmont Terrier, the Skye, the Yorkshire, and the Black and Tan Terrier. The result was a tough and courageous Aussie Terrier.

Because early European settlers in Australia faced harsh conditions, they needed a hardy, fearless dog that could work in all kinds of weather. Aussies Terriers were bred to control and exterminate rats and snakes on the waterfront, in gold mines, and on sheep stations in the outback. They were also used as watchdogs, shepherds, and companions to the people living in these stressful outposts.

The Aussie Terrier is a fun-loving, upbeat dog who makes a great companion for any individual or family who wants to share his energetic lifestyle. Devoted to his owners, he’s happiest when he’s part of daily family life. He likes to be in the house, playing with the kids, following you room to room, or shouldering his way to the front door when you greet a friend. He is clever and should be easy to train — as long as you keep him busy and never, ever bore him.

  1. I love my Australian terrier. I had a Yorkshire terrier for 16 wonderful years. When he passed i was so depressed. I literally cried every day for months. My husband was worried. He mentioned maybe we should look for another to take care off. No, i didn't take it as him being insensitive it being only 3 much of sadness and hopeless after my vinny's passing. We tried adopting and filling out all the forms adoption fees and willing to travel and let me just say its not all that. To get denied was frustrating and cruel. I know you my ask how hard is it, well you have to remember I hadn't had to do that since I had mine for16 years and I bought him from an ad in the newspaper. Its just what we did back then. Anyway, found one on a Facebook site group and he was advised as a yorkie and the lady said he wasn't a small one but I didn't care how big it would be I saw his picture and had to get him. He, is twice the size as my Yorkshire (7 pounds) and it was just when he was growing bigger and looking a little different is when I did more research and discovered he was a silky. I have to say this little fellow has brought my family so much love and happiness.

  2. My favorite dog breed is the Australian terrier. Best dog ever. Had one who was attacked by a pit bull once. The pit bull had to have stitches. Same dog was kicked in the face by a guy when she was a puppy. The dog got him back by pooping on his business welcome mat. He came out to kick her again and stepped on her poop. RIP Alara

  3. My Aussie had a Rex rabbit as his mate. They ate their dinner together and our back yard was completely turned into burrows. They took turns. Used to lose both of them down the rabbits hole…. literally.

  4. My Australian terrier is named Little Joe. The breeder was a fan of westerns. His father was Doc Holiday and mother was Miss Kitty. Our house would not be the same without him !!

  5. This is rubbish – surely you'd show more clips of actual ausie terriers. They have so much personality which doesnt come across here at all

  6. I have a male 10 yrs old, Mikki. Active, strong physically and mentally
    (for his size), STUBBORN, tenacious, hates pest, love to be in family(not a lap dog), gloton, happy, loves people and love others dogs but hates cats, great "prey drive", great "guard" dog, smart, independent, intrepid and inventive, affectionate. Something important to me when I did my research, they don't shed(I mean, almost anything)! He think that he's a big dog!😄
    He is pure terrier.

  7. I'm a proud happy owner of the Australian terrier he is so sweet and we'll manners potty trained and love rides to sticking his nose 🐽 out of the window… I have found this dog near me errand and lost I rescued him and this is the best thing ever

  8. I found mine lost in the streets and after my friends and family net him they were asking me to give him away they fell in love with my brownie…

  9. 😂 my fur baby is definitely bossy & a little digger, but he learns fast. I've taught him to "kiss", "hug", "sit", "fetch", "play", "go outside", & uniquely "Leave Yagi" (his feline big brother). A bored Aussie terrier WILL wreak havoc by chewing everything lol
