Though one of the smallest terriers, the rugged Australian Terrier was developed in the harsh conditions of the Australian Outback, where he worked side by side with the pioneers — controlling rats and snakes, alerting humans to intruders, even tending sheep. He’s ready for any situation. With that easy self-confidence comes his readiness to enjoy a good friendship.
