Background:  The Silky Terrier is a quick mover and thinker.  He is well suited for apartment living.  Obedience training as a puppy will help him remember the rules of the house.  He tolerates children, but does not enjoy being constrained by toddlers.  The Silky's near-human hair does not shed much.  His coat should be brushed daily to keep it free of tangles.  Scissoring is required every couple of months.
