History:
Yorkie terriers were brought to Australia from England in the 1800s.
These dogs were bred with native Australian terriers. The result
eventually led to the Silky Terrier. Many years of disagreement over the
standards of the breed were finally settled in 1926. The breed achieved
AKC recognition in 1955.
Temperament:
Don't let the small size fool you. The Silky is all-terrier...always
ready for action. It is bold and inquisitive...a great watchdog for the
house. It is very clever and can be stubborn at times.
Maintenance:
An active breed that needs more exercise than other small dogs.
Silkys love vigorous games. The coat needs brushing every other day.
