The Skilky Terrier is a mix between a purebred Scottish Terrier and a purebred Silky Terrier. These are called hybrid or designer dogs due to their origination from two different pure breeds.
The Skilky Terriers are small in size with an average height and weight of 9-11 inches and 10-15 pounds respectively. These dogs are sturdy, loving, charming and intelligent. They like to be with their family. They are energetic and very sporty. They are eager to learn but sometimes, show reluctance and should be trained in a firm yet gentle and consistent manner. These dogs need a firm owner who can establish his authority over them or they will try to become the pack leader. This change in temperament will cause severe behavioral problems.
The Skilky Terriers are spunky, playful, cheerful and alert dogs. They make very good watch dogs as they are very alert of their surroundings. They are generally good with children but need early age socialization with other dogs and pets in the family or they will chase after a cat or other small animals.
These dogs are very good family pets with proper training.
