Australian Terrier The Australian Terrier was the first native-bred Australian dog to be
shown, and the first to be recognized overseas. Its origins are uncertain,
but its immediate ancestor was without doubt developed in the United Kingdom
in the early 1800s from the precursors of today's British and Scottish
terriers. Some of these breeds are now extinct, but the Aussie likely
has a mixed ancestry comprising the same dog types that produced today's
Yorkshire, Dandie Dinmont, Manchester, Irish, and Cairn terriers.
