Australian Terrier
The Australian Terrier is a small, sturdy terrier originally developed in Australia for vermin control and as an all-purpose farm dog. Known for its rough, weather-resistant coat and keen expression, it combines true terrier spirit with a notably affectionate nature toward its family. Despite its size, it is bold, alert, and makes an excellent watchdog and companion.
