What is the personality of the Silky Terrier? The Silky Terrier has a curious nature and a happy attitude towards life, making it an ideal companion dog, but it is very impatient with other animals. The Silky Terrier is sweet, quick, intelligent, cheerful, lively, angry and cautious, friendly and easy to get along with. He has a strong sense of domain, squeals at the sight of strangers, and is willful and rebellious. The Silky Terrier is native to Australia and was once known as the Australian Silky Terrier, a pet of the local population. Because of the fine quality of its coat, shiny as silk, it is called the Silky Terrier, and because the dog’s main origin is Sydney in southern Australia, it is also known as the Sydney Terrier. In order to give this dog the best characteristics of both the Australian Terrier and the Yorkshire Terrier, the breeder used a complex crossbreeding to improve the current Silky Terrier. It was crossed in Sydney, Australia, so it was nicknamed the Sydney Silk Terrier and was bred as a pleasure dog. The Silky Terrier is a true “toy terrier”. It is small, slightly longer than it is tall, and has a delicate bone structure, but enough bone mass to allow it to successfully hunt mice in the home. Its coat is silk-like and needs to be neatly trimmed from stop to tail, but not overly sculpted. The objective presence of a curious nature and a happy attitude towards life makes it an ideal companion dog. The typical characteristic of the Silky Terrier is that it is very impatient with other animals, including other dogs. Their ancestors were bred to hunt vermin. They continue to be designed to always behave as if they have brave and active traits. The Silky Terrier is lovable, fast, intelligent, cheerful, lively, angry and cautious, friendly and easy to get along with. It is an ideal watchdog or family dog for urban dwellers. The Silky Terrier has a strong sense of domain and will squeal when it sees a stranger. The Silky Terrier is willful and rebellious, and early training is needed to make them live peacefully with people. Terriers are uniquely alert, but timidity or excessive neuroticism are both defects. Its attitude should be responsive, friendly and sensitive.
