Hi babymiki, may I know what's with the skin and fur supplement? Any suggested brand and how frequent do the furkid need to take? oh and how much does that cost?

erm im not too sure of the brand

pet natural i think bought from fluff (owned by whitepalace) ..i think it's available frm most of the pet stores..i think bout 50 to 60 bucks? dont really remember the price. i has 100 tablets...for silky u can feed half a tablet per day

Currently my two furkids are on calcium and salmon oil supplements. Maybe can add that too for skin and fur later..

Hey there everybody!

I'm a newbie to this thread.

I own a pure breed australian silky terrier (claimed by the pet shop i bought from) and he will be turning 2 this coming july. However, as i was reading through this thread, I see alot of silkies have turned white! While mine has just partial gray and black hair. Are silkies supposed to turn white?

Well, I have alot "impatient" moments with him such as him peeing in the house (lifting his leg and spray on corners of the house and even in his cage) and jumps while scratching my legs along the way. I did send him for uhh...i think 5 session of obedience classes when he turned about 1 year old but that doesnt seem to be working.

My parents always put him in the crate because we didnt want him to pee in the house. He yelps and barks alot everytime he sees me or as I just came back from work. So I had to sacrifice my tv time just to hide from him (his crate is literally next to the tv) and i felt so bad when he gave me those pitiful eyes that expresses "get me out from this crate".

Whenever i let him out from the crate, he again will find spots to pee and i strictly told him NO but he will just ignore me and find another spot. yeah he is not house broken and i just dont know how to discipline him anymore. Please help?

^ I guess that is called marking rather than simply pee
ur silky is a male right? if he always pee at the corner and also kinda lift his leg to pee that could be marking.

Not white but silver, some or I should say most of silky breed their fur will slowly changed to silver color when they got older

hi there,
if you google for silky terriers, there's actually a variety of colour combination. Not all silkies turns white, and you can see that by going through pictures of the silkies that are posted in this thread. Whatever colour your dog is or whether they're pure breed or not, they should all be treated with equal love.

from my experience, its quite hard to train your dog when he's 1 year old. Usually its a lot easier to start when they're 2~3 months of age, although i'm not saying its not possible, but needs a lot more patience and time. Maybe you should make sure you take him to the newspaper or outside whenever you see that he's sniffing around or showing signs of wanting to pee. If accident happens, show to him that you are very angry and disappointed, and never wipe his pee in front of him. This might take months before he understands that he shouldn't pee or poo in the house.

If all fails, what one of my friend did is to take his dogs outside the house every 4 hours for them to pee and poo. This way is much easier, as you have fixed a schedule for them to ease themselves. Besides, all dogs will love to go outside the house.

One more thing, please try not to cage your dogs. It really feels cruel and unfair to them. If you really have to, fencing is a lot more better than caging.

I'm not an experienced owner, but this website really help me ALOT..!!

I walked my dog twice a day, for around 15 min after he had his meal. my silky never ever again pee or poo in the house, always poo and pee outside of the house.

I keep it inside my bedroom..never pee or poo...

study the materials in the website, it will help you...

good luck..
