Summary
The Silky Terrier exemplifies the expression “small dog, big personality.” Weighing just eight to 10 pounds when full grown, he’s tough and confident, perhaps because of his heritage as a hunter of small prey.

Beneath the feistiness, however, is a loving companion dog who loves to stick close to his person. Full Silky Terrier profile on DogTime.com
