The Silky Terrier is a small Australian breed with a long, silky coat and terrier spirit. Bold, curious, and affectionate, they're alert watchdogs who bond closely with family. Despite their elegant appearance, they retain true terrier character.
Daily walks and play keep them content. Their silky coat requires regular brushing to prevent tangles. Training should be consistent and engaging. For those seeking a small, elegant terrier with spirit, the Silky Terrier is charming.
