About

What is a Australian Silky Terrier?

A small, spirited toy terrier with a refined but substantial build, characterized by its long, straight, glossy blue-and-tan silky coat that is parted down the middle and lively, alert demeanor

Australian Silky Terrier history and origins

Developed in Australia in the late 19th century by crossing Yorkshire Terriers with Australian Terriers to create a small companion dog with a long, silky coat, combining hardiness with refined features and vermin hunting ability

Australian Silky Terrier appearance and size

Typically 3.5-5 kg and 23-25 cm at the shoulder — published as one range rather than separately for males and females.

Australian Silky Terrier temperament and personality

Generally described as friendly, intelligent, alert, energetic and confident.

That is the breed in general, not a promise about one animal. Ask the breeder what their own line is like, and meet the parents before you decide.

«Preferred», «permissible», «undesirable» y «disqualifying» — preferido, admisible, indeseable y descalificante — son las palabras de la propia FCI sobre la raza, y quedan en inglés porque así constan en el estándar. Describen lo que el estándar pide — no son una valoración de ningún perro concreto, ni nuestra.

Health guide

What to ask for in a Australian Silky Terrier

No breed-specific health panel has been written up for the Australian Silky Terrier on this platform yet. That is a gap in our records, not a clean bill of health — ask the breeder which hereditary conditions their lines are tested for, and ask to see the results for both parents, dated and from a named laboratory.

Puppies

No puppies listed right now

No Australian Silky Terrier breeder has a record on this platform yet, so there is nothing to list. That is a gap in our coverage, not a fact about the breed.
