Australian Terriers - Breed History
Australian Terriers were developed in the 19th century. The purpose of the breed was to keep rats and other vermin under control on ships. The dogs also developed good watchdog abilities. The country of the breed's origin is Tasmania. The Australian Terrier was developed from various European breeds. Manchester terrier, Yorkshire, Skye and Dandie Dinmont Scotch terriers are among the breed's ancestors. The Australian Terrier shares its background with the
Silky terrier and is sometimes confused with the latter. The AKC recognized Australian Terriers in 1960.
Australian Terriers - Health Concerns
Australian Terriers have a predisposition for diabetes and thyroid disorders. Luxating patellas is the condition when the kneecap of the rear legs slips in and out of its groove. The Australian Terrier, like some other small and active breeds, is prone to this disease. Look out for itchy skin and allergies in Australian Terriers.

Australian Terriers - General Care
The Australian Terrier is an easy keeper and does not need much grooming. To keep your Australian Terrier elegant and in good condition, you are advised to pluck the long hairs that grow in front of and between the eyes regularly. Otherwise, these hairs tend to irritate the eyes of a dog. Trim around the feet and tail with scissors and trim the dog's nails. If you have no time to do it yourself, request for the help of a groomer. Regular brushing will help keep insect pests away. Brushing keeps shedding to a minimum as well.
