Crazy Daisy Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Miniature Fox Terriers originated in Australia. Even though it came from english breeds the breed was developed in Aus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite its name, the breed, commonly known as an Aussie, did not originate in Australia[2] They acquired their name because some of the Australian sheepdogs arrived in the United States with boatloads of Australian sheep.[3][4] The breed rose gradually in popularity with the boom of western riding after World War I. They became known to the general public through rodeos, horse shows, and through Disney movies made for television. For many years, Aussies have been valued by stockmen for their inherent versatility and trainability. While they continue to work as stockdogs and compete in herding trials, the breed has earned recognition in other roles due to their trainability and eagerness to please, and are highly regarded for their skills in obedience. Like all working breeds, the Aussie has considerable energy and drive, and usually needs a job to do. It often excels at dog sports such as dog agility, flyball, and frisbee. They are also highly successful search and rescue dogs, disaster dogs, detection dogs, guide, service, and therapy dogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chevorne Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 and the Kangaroo Dog, developed to chase down the Kangaroos. I think a cross between a Irish Wolfhound and a Greyhound? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gayle. Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 The Australian Shepherd was unknown here until the early 1990's. Wasn't the standard for the Border Collie developed here? I know they originated in the UK, but something about them was developed here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gayle. Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 (edited) Murray River Retriever? Not a registered breed but very recognisable. And the JRT was also "developed" here too, I think. Edited June 24, 2011 by GayleK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you might be correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ons Posted June 24, 2011 Author Share Posted June 24, 2011 I thought the Coolie was in fact the German Coolie and imported here. the coolie aka German Coolie and can be spelt with a "k" was definitely bred in Australia. The reason the german is in the name is that the origins are from South Australia and there was a large german population farming down that way who started developing the coolie. Border collies are definitely Scottish/english but my understanding is that the breed commenced development here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy Daisy Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 (edited) I always thought the Miniature Fox Terrier was a registered breed but it isn't. Sorry. I have just had a look and they have their own registry. The website claims there are similarities between the Tenterfield and the mini foxie but that they are different breeds. Wow learn something new every day. Edited June 24, 2011 by Crazy Daisy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ons Posted June 24, 2011 Author Share Posted June 24, 2011 Its an Australian Kelpie ;) lol - i actually wondered if I should have typed "Australian" in front of them or if they are known just as kelpies. Now I know another awesome dog - hey they were developed from coolie stock so of course they are jrts - are definitely english. Every second english household seems to have one - I think from memory that my aunt's sister had some of the first ones in the 1970s, they were pretty rare back then anyway. I could be wrong though. They seem to have gained popularity very quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
