Silky Terriers behave like terriers. They're sturdy, hardy, quick, and demanding. They're usually friendly with strangers and snappish with other pets. Silky Terriers are barkers and chasers. Keep them on a leash or in a fenced-in yard whenever they're outside. Silky Terriers are part of the Toy group. Toy breeds are small companion dogs that were bred as pets for wealthy, cultured families. In general, toys are the perfect apartment dogs, since they require little, if any, outdoor exercise. Despite their small size, many toys are excellent watchdogs. Most get along fine with children, although they'll snap if teased or startled. Some breeds are jealous of other pets. Longhaired toys need to be brushed frequently, and some breeds need to be professionally groomed every few months. Origin: Australia Height: 8" - 10" Weight: 8 to 10 pounds Coat: Five to six inches long and parted down the middle. Colors: Dark blue or silver blue with tan markings on the head, chest, legs, feet, and under the tail. Eyes are dark, and nose is black. |
