Silky
Terrier
The Silky Terrier's coat is his crowning glory. It is virtually odorless and
non-shedding. The coat needs to be brushed for about ten minutes every day to
keep it shining and free of mats. The Silky Terrier will adapt to most
lifestyles. It is a spirited little dog with a good degree of physical strength.
Silky's are good with children as long as the children treat them with kindness.
Silky Terriers like companionship from other pets.
The Silky Terrier is a true ''toy terrier''. He is moderately low set, slightly
longer than tall, of refined bone structure, but of sufficient substance to
suggest the ability to hunt and kill domestic rodents. His coat is silky in
texture, parted from the stop to the tail and presents a well groomed but not
sculptured appearance. His inquisitive nature and joy of life make him an ideal
companion.
Developed around the turn of the century in Australia from crossings of
native Australian Terriers and imported Yorkshire Terriers, the Silky Terrier
encompasses many of the best qualities of both. Originally known as the Sydney
Silky Terrier, in 1955 the official name for the breed became the Australian
Silky Terrier. The first official meeting of the Sydney Silky Terrier Club of
America was held on March 25, 1955, and in July of that year, the name was
changed by a vote of its members to Silky Terrier Club of America
