Silky Terrier

The Silky Terrier is a lively and spirited dog breed known for its distinct long, silky coat and playful personality. Originating from Australia, this breed combines the robust body of the Australian Terrier with the coat color and quality of the Yorkshire Terrier. Silkies are intelligent, affectionate, and adaptable, making them excellent companions for individuals and families alike. They are naturally active, due to their historical use in hunting small vermin, and require regular exercise and mental stimulation to keep them happy and healthy. Their high energy levels and barking propensity make them effective watchdogs, but also demanding pets that need careful training and socialization.
