They are small dogs, on average growing to heights of between 25 and 30 centimeters tall. Tenterfield Terriers are fairly healthy breeds of dog, however they are prone to hypothyroidism and patellar luxation, as well as a tendency to become overweight if fed too often. They are a very intelligent and trainable breed of dog, yet will require consistent training. The Tenterfield Terrier is a high-energy dog that will need to be taken for walks at least daily. Their temperament is friendly if well-taken care of, yet they can become destructive or noisy if bored.
