Consider bringing her to a training class, or you may want to hire a trainer especially for your silky terrier. If your pet is consistently urinating indoors, something most certainly needs to be done, and fast. I also recommend watching Caesar’s the Dog Whisperer TV show. He is very good with dogs and you might get a few helpful tips. Good luck!

My father in law “adopted” a silky that he named Baby Girl that he found in the lost and found section of the newspaper. Someone had lost this little dog and never claimed her so he took her in. He kept her for four months but was very sick and was diagnosed with cancer and never took her outside for walks and she apparently was never trained to use the bathroom outside by her original owner. I took her in when he could no longer care for her, I have had her for four months now and she is an absolute joy, so loving, hyper and at times mischevious but she wants our undivided attention. The vet says she is about two years old. I have had several obstacles. We have to keep our doors locked at all times because if the door is opened and you are not holding her she runs out and runs off. My biggest problem is that she refuses to stop using the bathroom inside the house. When I take her out she always goes outside but she does it alot inside, too. She is disobedient and I have tried the pads inside the house and she just chews them up! I cannot let her outside without being on a leash because she runs away. I had tied her on a long leash outside on a nice day for a while and she got out of her harness and I almost never found her. I love her dearly but does anyone have advise for me? I don’t know what to do with her and my carpet in the house is being ruined. HELP!

I have a silky named Vergil. I got him as a gift for Christmas. I also have an 11 year old 110 lb Akita/Shepard. Although the size difference shocked me, I couldn’t believe how smart Vergil is. He is verbal but not barky. His coat color is that of a yorkie but silkier. He is seven months old now and follows me and Bahr(the big one) around everywhere. He already walks with out a leash and loves to swim in the tub. My biggest worry was the amount of food he does not eat. He weighs almost seven lbs but doesn’t look it. I couldn’t have asked for a better breed in a small dog. He potties on pads when he is in the house but tries to hold it till he gets outside. I use regular bed pads for adults because the little wee wee pads don’t absorb much and he usually misses cause they are too small. I want another one.

I think we have the Silky as well. the weight range for a Yorkie as I have read goes up to 7 lbs and the Silky to 9. Ours is a twin to the pic above and weighs 8.5 lbs , is very long and lean larger ears, taller and hair like a newborn baby. so fine, soft and “Silky”. She is registered as a Yorkie as are the parents. The dad is smaller and the mom is like our Cydne. I have no problems with this , just it is fascinating how it cold be.
Several books descriptions put her as a Silky so I wonder what one should do? Try to change things about the lineage or just leave it alone. She is 20 months old on 4/2. This dog has stolen our heart. Our Toy poodle will be 16 in Sept., and we thought she was smart. Well she has a masters and Cydne has a doctorate. Amazing creature!

I have two Silky’s….. my husband and I had one before these two. We LOVE them!! Smart (no, brilliant), never sheds, easy to train, playful, loveable, and always wanting to please. Having two Silky puppies has been a joy. Never buy a dog from a pet store. Find a good breeder. Silky’s are hefty compared to the fragile Yorkie’s so if you hike, walk, and are active like we are, Silky’s can keep up.

I purchased a supposed to be tiny yorkie, her papers even say shes a yorkier terrier. Now that she is a year old I noticed a few changes in her, She is not overly nerveous, she weighs 12 lbs, she is 21 inches long from tip of nose to curled tail, her legs are 7.5 inches long,her colors now are golen,silver and black,her coat is slightly smooth/rough but not as long as a yorkies hair should be, hers isnt as fine and thin like a yorkie either. Did my breeder sell me a supposible tiny yorkie or did she sell me a SILKY TERRIER like I think she is???? If anyone has a comment to help please let me know..Thanks

We rescued a Silky male at approximately 11 months old. He was so timid, and hated men. He had been severely neglected and probably rough handled. He is my shadow, and he adores my young son. He plays with the neighborhood kids as if he were one of them! He eventually came to love my brother and dad, but continues to dislike men. He loves women and children. He is very obedient, and will walk without a leash, never leaving my side, ever! When people ask what kind of dog he is, we say “silky haired terrorist”, as he is a superb guard dog. He sure is a cuddler too. I believe he knows we rescued him, and he is so grateful. He is a gem of a dog! This has been my first small dog, as I usually have had golden retrievers, but I must say Lester is just as intelligent, and so much easier to care for.
