 Dogs - Australian Terrier Breed
Australian Terrier History
Descended from British
breeds, the Australian Terrier was shown for the first time in Sidney in
1899. The breed’s ancestors include the Cairn Terrier, the Irish Terrier,
the Scottish Terrier, and, of course, the Yorkshire Terrier, which looks
much like its Australian descendant.
Australian Terriers were
developed for hunting rabbits and rats. The Australian Terrier Club was
founded in 1921, and the first standard was published the same year. The
Australian Terrier was recognized by The Kennel Club in 1936.
