I am a member of the Australian
Silky Terrier Club of Queensland &
The Toy Dog Club of Queensland [Australia].
I breed mainly for show & silky lovers"- Who wants a loving,
Playful, mischievous healthy Companion for the perfect home.

Background:
The Australian Silky Terrier is often said to be the
result of a planned mating between an Australian Terrier Type
dog ,? ?
and a Yorkshire Terrier Type dog,? ?
But because stud records were not kept in the early days this
can only be supposition.
Around the year 1900 the Australian Terrier Club was formed but
folded a couple of years later,
leading to the formation of the Victorian Silky and Yorkshire
Terrier Club.
In 1904 this new club drew up a standard for the breed.

History

PLEASE TAKE NOTE

being an outdoor dog only.
Ideal owner/s Those who require a family companion

SUMMING UP
The Australian Silky Terrier is a TRUE TERRIER in every sence.
He is a hardy, alert, lovable little dog who will be a loyal
companion to you and your family.
He will be a great watch dog. He won't shed hair all over the
furniture and with minimum coat care,
he will not emit a doggy odour. He will ask nothing of you
except a dry warm place to sleep,
a tasty meal and a little love and attention. In return, he will
give you much pleasure, loyalty and love.
In closing, we would just like to say that we hope you will
enjoy owning this great little AUSSIE DOG,
Whether he be a show-dog or a pet.
We hope that in some way by outlining the breed in simple terms
we have helped you understand the
AUSTRALIAN SILKY TERRIER a lot better and we wish you both a
happy content life together.
