Breed history

The first of the Australian breeds to be recognized and exhibited in its native land, this breed made its debut in 1868 Descended from British terriers like the Cairn, Skye, and Yorkshire Terrier, they were bred to be tough, all-purpose working dogs. Their primary role was vermin control on farms and mines, where they hunted rodents and snakes. Despite their rugged nature, they were also valued as loyal companions. Their weather-resistant coat and fearless spirit made them well-suited for Australia’s harsh conditions. Today, they are beloved for their intelligence, adaptability, and affectionate personalities.
