The Australian Terrier is a small and sturdy breed that is proportionate in height and length. The Australian Terrier’s shaggy double coat is waterproof, consisting of a short undercoat and a straight, harsh top coat with shorter hair on its tail and legs. There’s distinctive hair around their necks and a topknot between their ears, giving them a slightly disheveled yet adorable look that complements their intelligent and bright expression.
