So sad to hear about that.. did u post any ad for lost n found? Thats why nowadays I seldom let my JRT out.. hear my wife said 'dog naps' as in dog snatch / kidnaps are very popular.. although not show dog quality but its still our precious..

@chrisoys
Sorry bout your lost, nice site btw.

Mine managed to run off once, but someone found it and was nice enough to drive around the neighbourhood with it to get spotted. Really lucky that time

can i ask about the problem with my silky terrier?

my dog fur was so thin...

and make him look like australian terrier...

any advice for me to make my dog's fur become thick like urs?

i heard there are 2 types of coat types..one is coarse another is thinner. i dunno how to explain lolz

i see my frenz just adopt one silky terrier,,,
very very cute...
fat, short, small, fury...
very very love that dog....

when young sure cute. they will grow up..the face wont be as cute as when they're in puppyhood..but still irresistable!

I did post up lost dog notice at forum, petshops & vet clinics. It seem like no one notice it

You Silky furs belong to Thick & Harsh type. This type of furs are straight, furs thicker that make your dog look thin cause the weight of the furs are heavy. Not easy tangle. Usually this type of furs make the Silky look thin and look like less hair.

When potential dog owner want to select a Silky terrier, look for Silky pup that have fluffy and the furs are soft when you touch it. This type of furs are hard to maintain and it is very easy get tangle but if you can manage to take nice care on the furs the furs will grow out very nice compare to thick furs type.

Euro look fine to me with no major skin problem. If Euro have serious Skin problem less than 2 months the hair will not grow untill that length in just short period of time.
Other things is not important anymore... The more important things is Euro recover already and he is doing well now...

Please take good care of Euro eyes. She have alot of tear stain that mean something irritated her eyes or tear duct blocked. Try cut away some of the hair around the eyes area & use eyes drop weekly after bath. You can get it from pharmacy (look for Alcon Tear Naturall II) I think selling RM9.90 per bottle. One drop in each eyes will do.

Okey... Will take note


Euro are turning to White Silky Terrier. Color totally out of the breed standard. Not advisible to breed your silky if next time you planning to do so.

I know... but when you love your puppy you won't care about whether he is out of the breed standard or not. Breeding I won't consider yet cause he so small.

lol means the fur too silky d... most of her fur is white n soft

I didn't ask you not to love your Silky wor

I just telling you don't breed her since she already out of the breed standard. Breed to improve the breed quality not increase the breed quantity.

I would like to comment about this.. for the contributors of this thread.. what is the purpose of breeding ur dog? I have a 1 year old JRT who has a very good lineage and the parents are imported from Australia. This JRT is within the show dog standard and some of my friends who are show dog handlers have proposed to me that they want to recruit my JRT when he was around 4 months old, definitely a very bright future!. Everything was ok, until around 6 months that we found out that our precious JRT have a non descending testicle on his right. Vet confirmed that the non descending testicle is on d surface and a small surgery will do, but the biggest disappointment is, no breeding and no show dog. No breeding as this is categorized as a genetic deform that will past down to the next generation. So as a responsible dog owner, of course we agreed with the vet.. why? Because it is extremely important for us to maintain the lineage and the breed standard of our dogs, to improve the generation everytime and not to make it worst. This is call evolution.
Well our heart is not broken at all, because we have selected a dog that bring changes to our lives, happines and most important of all responsibility. So, I hope that future dog owners who think that they want to breed their dog, please think twice because our small actions can make a big difference.

ur statement scares me. u sound like hitler to me.... For your information even some human suffers from non descending testis too, so does that stops human from breeding too? this is absurd.

Added on May 13, 2007, 4:48 pmDo not breed unless you are convinced that your knowledge, experience, and devotion of your favorite breed will result in a mating that will produce an exceptional litter of puppies, with qualities that are as near as possible to the ideal for that breed. You breed to preserve and to enhance the characteristics that make their breed unique. In short, breed to improve.

Every dog is the best dog in the world to its owner. However, know to avoid "kennel blindness"-- in other words, take a step back and honestly evaluate the good and bad points of your own dogs before making the decision to breed them. The goal of breeding, after all, is to produce a better dog.

The best way to get an objective opinion of your dog is to test it against others. Enter dog shows to determine how your dog measures up against the best specimens of its breeds. If you want to breed a great obedience dog or a conformation show dog, enter your dog for obedience trials or dog show. If your dog is a success at these events, you will be more confident that breeding it will make a contribution to the breed.

If you say like that then it is not fair for other dogs. Only show dogs are qualify to breed.

Having a dogs is not to show off that you have a good breed of the species.

As long as the dog that is healthy and strong. I think the dog deserve a chance to breed but of course the owner must take consideration whether he/she could take good care of the dog litter first.

Btw, it is very rude to say that other people dogs is not up to the standard...

chrisoys..ur silky terrier is so cute.
Hmm..? those are urs silky terrier?

Telling a FACTS is not rude. You Silky is definity a white color Silky!!! & is not conform to the breed standard. There is nothing wrong to owned a white Silky. I do have one myself. But I can't breed her due to her color afriad the genetic will pass it down to her puppies.

"As long as the dog that is healthy and strong. I think the dog deserve a chance to breed" Alot ppls thinking just like you. That why SPCA & PAWS ending up alot of unwanted dogs & cats!!!

Breed to improve the breed NOT increasing the quantity.
