Not absolutely for an apartment. Terriers love to bark and dig. Try a Basenjii, they really don't bark.

no such grow as australian terrier. No such breed as Jack Russell terrier the name was changed to Parson Russell terrier 4 years ago.

terriers in blanket are not good for apartment because they are so energetic. i would try to find another breed or go to your local shelter and adopt a mutt.

Aussie Terriers are outrageously randy dogs so I suggest getting desexed esp if get male as they get very territorial and cock their leg alot.
Also Terriers likely to bark a lot and like to run around, you maybe better with a quieter breed such as Lhasa or Shih Tzu.

Neither.

They both be missing a large yard with a fence. unles of course you plan on at least two hours a day jogging with your dog or playing at a dog parkland or something similar.

My two are home alone all day (I live in a duplex) and they're young, high energy dogs (lab mix and jrt mix) but we working-out them regularly for long periods of time.

A JRT, especially, will open his mouth every time he hears something. That's not...

From what ungenerous I know about Aussie Terriers, I would say yes.

Jacks on the other hand are perpetual motion machines, and require a LOT of exercise. A bored JRT in an apartment is a lethal JRT.

Either one does best when not left alone for long periods of time. Dogs can & do become depressed if isolated for too large. If you can, get a pair so they are company for each other. Remember, dogs are pack animals.

Yes definetely!! I have an Australian Terrier in my apartment and he's weighty!! They're great dogs to have b/c they are small, quiet (doesn't bark alot unequal to other terrier breeds), not as hyper, have little to no health problems associated w/ this breed, you don't demand to do alot of grooming or walking, and they are extremely intelligent and obedient. He's a joy to have!!!
