The Silky Terrier originated in Australia and were bred to for human companionship. This breed is a mixture of the Cairn Terrier, Skye Terrier, Yorkshire Terrier and the Australian Terrier. These dogs are a very intelligent, charismatic and graceful breed.
The Silky Terrier is longer than they are tall. They resemble the Yorkshire Terrier and are often mistaken as one! Puppies of this breed are born black and will eventually 'grow into their colour' which will be either a blue and tan or a blue and red.
Fun loving and energetic, this dog will make a great pet that will entertain their families. They have been known to be protective of their owners and have even become jealous when they are not given attention! These dogs have an animated attitude making them very entertaining to live with.
