Today’s Spotlight is on the Silky Terrier.  A small dog, generally the breed stands 9 to 10 inches tall.  An extremely loyal companion that does wonderfully indoors, Silky Terriers are considered a relative to the Yorkshire Terrier, and has many of the same traits.  The main difference is in height and length.

Considered a “hypoallergenic” dog, Silky Terriers are prone to dry skin, so a healthy diet is very important.  Although the dog thrives indoors, it should still receive daily exercise and brushing, and weekly grooming.
