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. The breed was developed for hunting rabbit 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.
