The Australian Terrier

Terrier Group

Three sisters and three puppies from Benayr Australian Terriers

The Australian Terrier is great for apartments as long as it gets a nice daily walk. It is an active dog, indoors and out, so be prepared for FRAPS (Frequent Random Activity Periods), especially from younger dogs. They interact well with children but do not like to be teased. Children should be advised that aggressive behavior toward the dog is not allowed. They may not do well with cats or other small pets, and a male to male canine relationship may not work. Early and consistent training and handling will help control this very self-confident and intelligent dog. It's a good traveler, but can be fond of barking. Their coat will need brushing several times during the week.

Book Suggestions


We STRONGLY recommend that you get your dog from a respectable breeder or rescue organization. Pet store puppies may get their dogs from Puppy Mills that normally breed only for profit, not quality or concern for the puppy or its eventual owner.

If you would like help locating a breeder or rescue agency near you please E-Mail PGAA ( ita408@comcast.net), and let us know your city/state and the type of dog you are looking for. Do not assume that PGAA has qualified all of the breeders or rescues on this site. Do your own check of each breeder or rescue -- be sure that you are comfortable with the organization before you buy, adopt or turn-over a dog.
