Australian Terrier

Personality

This breed is known for its loyalty, courage, and alert nature. They are affectionate with their family but retain a typical terrier independence and can be wary of strangers.

Exercise Needs

Needs a moderate amount of daily exercise, such as a couple of brisk walks or active play sessions, to satisfy its terrier energy and prevent boredom.

Grooming & Care

Requires weekly brushing and occasional hand-stripping or clipping to maintain its harsh, weather-resistant coat. Regular nail trimming, ear cleaning, and dental care are essential.

Family Suitability

Health Considerations

Generally healthy, but can be prone to patellar luxation, diabetes, and some allergies. Regular vet check-ups are recommended.
