1 Australian Origins
Long and silky, the Silky Terrier lives up to its name. This uncommon characteristic requires continuous brushing to avoid tangling and matting.
2 Silky Coat
Despite their beautiful coats, Silky Terriers weigh 8–11 pounds (3.5–5 kilogrammes) and stand 9–10 inches (23–25 centimetres) at the shoulder.
3 Size
Silky Terriers are curious, bold, and lively. Although independent and difficult, they care and commit.
4 Temperamen
Though little, Silky Terriers are good watchdogs. Barking alerts owners to strangers or threats.
5 Good Monitors
Silky Terriers need moderate activity. Daily walks and play in a gated garden keep them healthy and happy. Fun mental stimulation includes interactive gadgets and training classes.
6 Exercise Needs
Silky Terriers live 12–15 years, longer than other tiny breeds, with good care.
