Australian Terrier

Developed to be a versatile helper in the rugged Australian outback, this small but sturdy terrier was bred to hunt snakes and rodents. They are known for their 'ruff' around the neck and a keen, intelligent expression that reflects their spirited personality. Despite their tough origin, they are deeply devoted companions that thrive on human interaction.
