A
cross between the Australian and the Yorkshire Terriers, the
Silky Terrier breed was originally developed in Australia
as a beautiful household pet. The Silky Terrier does this job
very well, combining the best traits of both the terrier and toy
breeds. Hardier and requiring less grooming and care than the
Yorkie, but not as active as the terrier, the Silky Terrier is
an excellent choice for those who love the lustrous coat and
adorable qualities of the yorkie, but also want a dog that is
relatively low-maintenance. The breed has been known by a
variety of names including the Victorian Silky, Sydney Silky and
Australian Silky Terrier. Whatever you call this adorable little
dog, the silky makes a wonderful pet and can now be found in
homes throughout the world. A Toy breed with the heart of a
terrier, the Silky measures nine to 10 inches at the shoulder
and weighs from eight to 10 pounds. The perfect pet for dog
lovers who live in the city - the Silky should be brushed daily.
They are happy with minimal exercise, making them a good choice
for elderly and disabled owners.
