Category - Silky Terrier

What they are:
The Silky Terrier is a small, elegant terrier with a long, silky coat and a lively, refined expression. Originating from Australia, Silky Terriers are compact yet confident and usually appear in blue-and-tan or silver-and-tan colors.

Temperament:
Silky Terriers are spirited, affectionate and alert. They enjoy play and can be curious and bold. They bond closely with family but may be reserved with strangers. Early socialization helps manage typical terrier feistiness.

Care & exercise:
Grooming requires regular brushing to keep the silky coat tangle-free and occasional trims. Exercise needs are moderate: daily walks and playtime are sufficient. Mental stimulation through training and games prevents boredom.

Best suited for:
Owners wanting a refined, small terrier companion who enjoys both lap time and lively activity; they fit well in apartments or houses with committed grooming routines.
