Australian Terriers are small but sturdy, self-confident terriers known for a longish torso, distinctive coat furnishings around the neck and forequarters, and a topknot of soft, silky hair that contrasts in texture with an otherwise harsh coat. Coat colors are blue-and-tan, or solid red or sandy. Despite their small size, Australian Terriers are confident and bold dogs. They carry themselves with a proud demeanor and are not easily intimidated.
