Introduction

Emerging with elegance, the Silky Terrier boasts a fine, glistening coat that mirrors its vivacious personality. This small, yet confident dog is incredibly affectionate and bonds deeply with its family. Averaging about 10 inches in height, this toy breed is full of life, requiring regular playtime. Its intelligence and alertness make it an excellent watchdog. However, its affinity for companionship means it thrives best when it's not left alone for long periods.
