What He's Like:
The Silky Terrier, or "Silky," is an energetic, curious, happy, busy, self-assured and loving dog who bonds every strongly with his owner and family. He loves attention and craves your companionship, and he wants to go everywhere and do everything with you. He is not a dog you can leave alone, either inside or outside the house. When bored or ignored he becomes mischievous, and especially loves to dig up your yard! He is a spunky, high-energy dog who is affectionate but doesn't necessarily like to cuddle or be fussed over. He prefers to romp and play with you, and loves ball games and chances to run and play outdoors. He has a great deal of stamina, and needs brisk, daily walks. When outside, he should always be leashed or in a safely fenced area, as he has very strong chase instincts and will run away after small animals. He can also be aggressive toward other dogs, and occasionally suspicious toward strangers. He makes an excellent watchdog because he is alert, suspicious, and intensely protective of his family and territory, and has a very keen sense of hearing. He will warn you with loud, high-pitched barks when he hears or sees something unusual. He can bark too much--in fact he loves to bark!--and must be trained not to do this. He will be barky and standoffish with strangers at first, then after a short while grow comfortable with them. He loves to go out into the world and makes a very good traveling companion. He is easy to train and a quick learner, although he may occasionally be obstinate, and doesn't always obey you. He can be difficult to housebreak. He needs firm and patient training with lots of love, praise and rewards. He is not good with small pets; he is much better at catching rodents than living with them! He can live with a cat if he is raised with it as a puppy. He gets along well with older, well-behaved children, but may not do well with those who are too young and rough with him. He basically doesn't shed, and so would be a good pet if you are a clean-freak.
Appearance
The Silky Terrier is 9 to 10 inches tall (to shoulders) and weighs 8 to 11 pounds. He has a long, straight, silky, glossy coat. His coat color can be black and tan, blue and tan, gray and tan, or silver and tan, or tri-colored.
Grooming
Pet coat: His coat only needs to be brushed occasionally, and clipped short every few months. Show coat: Brushed for 10 to 15 minutes daily to prevent matting and tangling, and trimmed every 6 weeks.
History
The Silky Terrier was developed in Australia around the turn of the 20th century when native Australian terriers were crossed with Yorkshire Terriers in the hope of creating a beautiful, affectionate companion dog. A standard for the breed was first set in 1926, then refined in 1955, when the name "Australian Silky Terrier" was chosen for him. After World War II, soldiers who had been stationed in Australia brought the "Silky" home with them to America, and in 1955, the Silky Terrier Club of America was formed. His AKC popularity was 74th out of 157 breeds in 2007.

What He's Like:
The Yorkshire Terrier, or "Yorkie," is a dainty, lively, affectionate, happy, energetic, confident and devoted dog. He focuses completely on his family, and craves attention, love and togetherness. He wants to be near you and will sit and cuddle in your lap--but only for so long! He loves and seeks out adventure, and can get into mischief if he isn't given enough to do. He is not a dog who can be left alone in a yard; he needs human companionship. He is a very high-energy dog who requires only moderate exercise because of his size, yet still needs to romp and play around the house, and chances to run free in the yard. He loves to travel, and he likes long, daily walks. He plays hard and seems to have a boundless capacity for fun. When outdoors, he should always be leashed or in a safely enclosed area, because he will chase after small animals. He is also fearless and assertive and will confront much larger dogs. He can get along with dogs and possibly with cats if he is brought up with him, but he will hunt and can harm smaller, rodent pets. He gets along well with older, responsible children, but does not have the patience for younger, smaller ones. He is a fragile dog who if handled too roughly will snap at them. He mustn't be tossed, or allowed to jump from high places. He is a friendly dog who likes people, although he can be timid with visitors if he isn't introduced to them while still a puppy. An outstanding watchdog, he is intensely protective, guarding his territory fearlessly with his acute hearing and his relentless, high-pitched bark. He can be annoyingly barky and yappy, and must be trained to stop yapping on command. He is easily trained, eager to please you and can remember many different commands. He excels at dog sports, especially agility. He can however be stubborn and willful if he doesn't get his way, and needs to be trained with a great deal of patience and praise. He is difficult to housebreak. He practically doesn't shed so he would make a good pet if you are a clean-freak.

History
The Yorkshire Terrier is named for the city in England where he was for many years the pet of working-class people. He was used by miners to hunt rats in the mines, and by weavers to hunt them in clothing mills. By the Victorian era however he had become popular with the upper classes, and made his appearance at his first show in 1861. He became officially known as the Yorkshire Terrier in 1870, and was admitted to the AKC in 1885. His popularity dipped during the 1940's, but he has risen since to become the world's most popular terrier breed. His AKC popularity was 2nd out of 157 breeds in 2007.
