Have you all seen Rick Stein's dog? Chalky (rip)

I named my JRT after him :D My Chalky is a girl but so what.

Aussie terriers are such fun to have around, real characters, fun loving, they have their play time when they go ballistic for 15 minutes but then lay down and collapse. Very smart and quick to learn but often it is "talk to the paw" as they are easily distracted. They just love to be part of the family. Not destructive, don't dig or chew things that aren't allowed. Bark when someone comes to the house or when excited in play but otherwise very quiet. Great with kids and not at all nippy. Fine with the cat (but then you don't argue with him, they learn that very quickly!!) Pet grooming is easy, just run a comb through once or twice a week, for showing there are different trains of thought but basically trim feet and tail and strip topline.

After having dobes and kelpies with more serious attitudes, Aussies are just joy. Real Aussie spirit, just want to have fun!

Couldn't of said it better myself, Aussie terriers are so much fun to have around, I would never ever be without one now.

They are so intelligent, cheeky, funny, so full of personality. They really like to think for themselves, but you have to make sure they understand that you are the pack leader, or they will quickly take over the house hold. They are so loyal to their family & love being with their people & they seem to love kids. They never chew or destroy things that they know their not allowed to touch, but they get great pleasure in deboweling their soft toys. They love getting about half an hour walk a day, but are equally happy with a game of fetch, however my dogs favourite thing to do is to go for a walk down to our dam, & go for a swim.

I haven't had any problems with mice, since I've owned Aussies, they a are fantastic at hunting vermin.

They really do have the easy goiing fun loving Aussie spirit, & it is such a shame more people don't own them.

My Aussie bitch whelped her first litter of 8 pups last Wednesday, & I know we are going to have so much fun raising them.

Congrats on the litter, must post some photos.

Thanks Sheridan & Austerra

My pups are 12 days old today & are all thriving & all have more than doubled their birth weight. Brandy is doing an excellent job & seems to be enjoying motherhood, although she is looking tired, & I think having 8 pups to look after is starting to wear her out a bit.

I am so in love with them , they are just so cute & the little terrors are just such time wasters as I spend so much time just looking at them.

At this stage I adore them so much that I just wan't to keep them all, but I have decided to keep one of the boys, but I don't know which one yet, I am waiting for their personalities to kick in & for them to grow a little more.

Being my first litter, I have already taken about 250 photos of them I just can't help myself I love them so much

Any way here is some of them for you all to enjoy.

These ones are taken at 7 days old

Thanks Austerra, ;)

Yes they are incredibly cute ,at the & at the moment I would love to keep them all, but I wonder if I will be saying that in a few weeks time when they become very active, & my whole life is spent cleaning poo, & wee & mixing food for the little terrors. :D
