Australian Terrier Health Information:
Some common health concerns for your Australian Terrier are patellar luxation and diabetes. Occasionally, Australian Terriers experience Legg-Perthes, seizures and cruciate ligament rupture.
Australian Terrier Exercise Information:
The Australian Terrier will feel entitled to certain considerations. He will expect a daily walk of five kilometres or so, as well as some vigorous yard play. The Australian Terrier is an excellent candidate for an off-leash dog parks, although he may fancy himself the king of the hill. The thing to consider as an owner of this breed is his proclivity for digging. So, Australian Terriers dissatisfied with their owner’s commitment to doggie exercise may adopt landscaping to fill the void.
Australian Terrier Grooming Needs:
The Australian Terrier has a naturally unkempt look, but he still needs regular grooming to appear tidy. His thick double coat will need twice yearly stripping but regular plucking of dead hairs will be beneficial. The Australian Terrier does shed, but he is a small dog so thankfully the shed is manageable, especially when coupled with regular brushing. The fur around the feet of the Australian Terrier will need occasional trimming and the chest area will need care. This area may find its way into food dishes and other less pleasant destinations, so spot-cleaning and regular thorough brushing are in order.
