About the Breed
This breed originated in Australia, in
tandem with its close relative, the Australian Terrier. Both
breeds are descended from imported British terriers, and bear
an obvious similarity in appearance to the Yorkshire Terrier.
In the United States, to avoid possible confusion over the
names of these two terriers, they are now described as the
Silky and Australian Terriers, respectively.
It is likely that the Australian Silky Terrier is the combined
result of three separate British breeds which were involved
in its development. The Dandie Dinmont Terrier probably contributed
towards the breed’s relatively long body, as well as
its silky coat. Skye Terriers may also have emphasised this
characteristic, while its blue colouration probably came from
the Yorkshire Terrier.
The coat of the Australian Silky Terrier, which is straight
and silky to the touch, is usually parted over the head and
down the centre of the back. It is not as long as that of
the Yorkshire Terrier, although there is a top-knot on the
top of the head. Today, the ears are held erect, although,
formerly, drop ears were also permissible, suggesting a close
relationship with the Skye Terrier.
In terms of care, the Australian Silky Terrier is probably
less demanding than its appearance may suggest, daily brushing
being adequate to keep its coat in top condition. It is a
lively breed, but will adapt well to apartment-living, if
it can have a good walk each day.
