Native to Sydney, Australia, Australian Silky Terriers are small and closely related to Yorkshire Terriers.
Despite having terrier characteristics and being a very active breed, the Silky Terrier is categorized as a toy dog due to its small size.
They typically have a thick double coat, which can be black and tan, blue and tan, blue-silver and tan, grey and tan, silver and tan, or silver-black and tan.
Silky Terriers are 9 to 10 inches tall, weigh 8 to 10 pounds, and average lifespan 12 to 15 years.
