  The Silky Terrier is similar in appearance, but larger than, the Yorkshire Terrier. It is a robust breed, yappy like the Yorkshire Terrier, and just as possessive of its own territory, announcing the presence of strangers in a shrill voice. Although small in size, it is quire capable of killing rodents. It can become an independent renegade, and early obedience training is advisable if it is to live peacefully with people. The Silky's coat benefits from daily brushing to prevent matting.
