Australian Terrier

The Australian Terrier was developed in Australia, as their name implies. Bred to hunt rodents and snakes, Australian Terriers were also prized as watchdogs and companions. Today, the breed maintains those same traits: they’re delightful companions, fierce earthdog competitors, and conformation and obedience showdogs.

Even though these are purebred dogs, some may still end up in the care of shelters or rescues. Opt to adopt if this is the breed for you.
