The Australian Terrier is one of the smallest in the Terrier Group. He is a sturdy, short legged, little dog. He has a long head, with erect, v-shaped ears and small cat-like feet. This little guy has a rough-textured coat which comes in solid red, sandy, or blue with tan markings on the head and legs. He is a tough, cheeky little fellow with the courage of a much larger dog. He has boundless energy and is very loyal, showing great affection for his immediate family and its extraordinary intelligence makes it a responsive and very protective companion. He makes an excellent watchdog. He wants very much to please his master and responds well to obedience training but can be troublesome if they are not trained. This little "Aussie" weighs in at only 9 to 14 pounds but he is one tight little package! |
