The Australian Terrier is another small, wire-haired terrier that visually resembles the Norwich Terrier. For some reason, this breed is small in number and underestimated in our country, while in Europe, and especially in the Scandinavian countries, it is popular due to its small size, minimal care and cheerful disposition!
What is an Australian Terrier?
This is a small, stocky terrier available in two colors: saddleback (in the breed standard it is called blue and tan) and red. The small size of the dog (height at the withers is approximately 23-26 cm, weight - 6-6.5 kg) allows you to take your pet both to the country and on a trip. The weight is suitable for transportation in the cabin of an airplane.
The coat is coarse, just like the Norwich coat requires trimming. At the same time, it does not smell and does not shed, which will be appreciated by those who like to keep their house clean. There will definitely be no dog hair on your sofas!
The Australian Terrier is a friendly and playful little terrier that will easily get along with all family members including children and pets. Despite its miniature size, this is not a decorative dog. If you once had large dogs, but at the moment it is not possible to have a large dog, an Australian may be of interest to you. In a small body - a big dog, with normal brains.
Of course, even a small Terrier is still a Terrier. It is not used for hunting, but it will definitely be interested in a mouse in the country, like any other dog.
Dogs of this breed are easy to train, and you can also engage in various types of dog sports, such as agility.
The Australian Terrier and the Norwich-Terrier, what are the differences:
How is it different from the Norwich Terrier? Body structure. The Norwich Terrier has a voluminous short body, the Australian does not have such volume, but it cannot be called frail; they are also strong-looking dogs, but slightly longer in body.
