Silky Terrier

The Silky Terrier is a small dog breed that originated in Australia. It is known for its silky, flowing coat and lively personality. This breed is a cross between the Yorkshire Terrier and the Australian Terrier. Silky Terriers are intelligent and energetic, making them suitable for active households. They require regular grooming to maintain their coat's appearance and prevent matting. Despite their small size, Silky Terriers are confident and assertive, often displaying a fearless attitude. They are generally good with children and can adapt well to apartment living. However, they may not get along with other pets, particularly small animals. Silky Terriers are prone to certain health issues, including patellar luxation and dental problems. This breed is a charming and affectionate companion that requires proper care and attention.
