Ask Annabel - Australian Terriers!

Australian Terriers are so cool so why don't you have a look at some facts about them:

#1. "The "Aussie," as it is affectionately know, is one of the smallest in the Terrier Group."
#2. "The Australian Terrier is a sturdy, short legged, little dog."
#3. "It has a long head, with erect, v-shaped ears and the eyes are dark brown with a keen expression."
#4. "The nose is black with an inverted V-shaped area above it."
#5. "The chest is deep, set well under the body."
#6. "The feet are small, and catlike. Toes are arched and compact, nicely padded turning neither inward nor outward. The nails are black."
#7. "The Australian Terrier has a weatherproof double coat that is about 2-3 inches (5-6.5 cm.) long. Coat colors include blue and tan, solid sandy and solid red. Shades of blue include dark blue, steel-blue, dark gray-blue, or silver-blue. In the silver-blues, each hair carries blue and silver alternating with the darker color at the tips. There is a topknot covering only the top of the skull, with a finer and softer texture then the rest of the coat."
#8. "The Australian Terrier is a tough, cheeky little fellow with courage that reminds people of a much larger dog."
#9. "It has boundless energy and is very loyal, showing great affection for its immediate family and its extraordinary intelligence makes it a responsive and very protective companion."
#10. "It is an alert, amusing and lovable little dog."
#11. "Spirited, curious, and self-assured, it has very keen hearing and eyesight, making an excellent guard dog."
#12. "It wants to please its master and is more easily obedience trained than most other terriers."
#13. "This breed is not snappish."
#14. "Children need to be taught how to be kind to the dog, but also how to be the dog's leader."
