Tenterfield Terrier puppies for sale in Prince Edward Island

Breed history

The Tenterfield Terrier originated in Australia in the early 20th century, descending from small terriers brought over from Britain by settlers. These dogs were valued on farms for their ratting ability, agility, and toughness despite their size. Over time, they were refined into a distinct type known for intelligence, loyalty, and versatility. The breed was named after the town of Tenterfield in New South Wales and is now recognized as a uniquely Australian companion and working terrier.
