Like many small breeds, Silky Terriers are prone to patellar luxation and dental crowding leading to periodontal disease. Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease (a degeneration of the hip joint's ball, more common in small breeds) also occurs.
Small, measured portions of a quality small-breed diet; standard weight and dental-focused care apply.
The long, silky, flat coat needs regular brushing to prevent tangling — genuinely closer to a terrier's low-shedding coat maintenance than a toy breed's, despite the glamorous look.
Silky Terriers are intelligent but carry real terrier independence — consistent, engaging training works better than repetition, and the breed's ratting instincts mean a securely fenced yard matters.
The Silky Terrier (Australian Silky Terrier in its home country) was developed in Australia from British terrier stock, closely related to both the Australian Terrier and the Yorkshire Terrier, historically used to hunt rodents and snakes despite its small size and elegant, silky coat.
Don't let the glamorous coat fool you — Silky Terriers retain genuine terrier grit, alertness, and a confident, sometimes feisty personality packed into a compact toy-sized body.
