I am sorry for your loss. Skyes are very a one person, one dog kind of dog. I have one left(my first champion) and he never comes in contact with my Yorkies. I had one litter many years ago and was extremely careful with who they went to. If I didnt have Yorkies, I would only have a Skye. They are loyal almost to a fault!! Most of the time they take quite a while to socialize, much more than most breeds. They end up in rescue because of un-educated owners that dont know how to handle one or think that they are going to be that super out-going, friendly all around dog and they just arent that. They were bred to exterminate vermin and badgers on the Isle of SKye. So the hunting/exterminating skills and instincs are very strong because they have not been over-bred over the years like the "popular" breeds.
