Silky Terrier is the cutest pup of all.

silky is thin lar..esp when u bath haha u can even see that their even tinier. love Euro loads the fur so nice..whitish in color..

but silky is kinda big among small.. compared to toy poddle.. i think da TS's silky is skinny.. reali skinny.. if compared to others.. not mer ?

the standard size for silky terrier is 4-5 kg, but toy poodle is 7 kg.. so who is bigger in size and who is smaller then??

Thank you for being a responsible dog owner. There are alot of ppl out there who do not understand the responsibility of keeping a dog. Nice job u have done there and thank keep up the good work! Btw, very nice silky u have there.

This post has been edited by lovepassion: May 8 2007, 08:15 PM

Silky's are prone to hot spots.. I visited the vet and met a friend with the same problem.. issit something to do with d food intake or could it be of our hazardously hot hot weather? Hope to hear some update soon.. Btw, Im a Silky enthusiast too... waiting for my house to be done, then I will get a female Silky to accompany my JRT..

i hope its skin sensitive...hmmm

I think also because of bad weather... suddenly very hot and very cold...

ya in the afternoon its very hot..sigh

On the fan for him when it's too hot. When I leave him alone in my room, I on the fan for my furkid too :

hahahha same here.i propersly buy fan for my furkid. scare my furkid will feel hot when stay in room.

My silly terrier before haircut:





Recently also got the weird dot on skin prob. Darkish color spots. Vet recommends change in diet, said protein was high. Got such thing? Only feed her dog biscuit and dry dog food plus garlic pills.

babymiki, how's germaine??

Added on May 9, 2007, 2:58 pmwhat dog food you feed your silky??

how's the spots look like?? small tiny with red black color??

This post has been edited by junnie87: May 9 2007, 02:58 PM

Yes, when the protein is high in dogfood, some dogs develop sensitive skin or skin allergies from the high protein.

What brand are you feeding? You may need to change to a lower protein diet, or vegetarian diet or game meat diet. The brand Addiction carries Vegetarian and Kangaroo meat diet for dogs with sensitive skin, you can try that.

Daily food should be Eukanuba maintenance, unless there are other varieties with the same packaging color.

Currently switched to other brand already, I'll check what's the brand when I get home. Spots are brownish (red/black). Are silly terriers prone to sensitive skin?

Ohhh... Eukanuba.... not the best brand if compare to other brands in the market. Maybe you should try holistic? California Natural is good for Sensitive skin.

Well, some breeds are allergic... like MS also got sensitive skin, some poodles do.... It really depends on the breeding and also the genetics.... my ckcs got sensitive skin too but she is more of the shedding type than having spots.... if the food is not correct, she sheds till almost bald...

Edited: didn't use the appropriate word.

Feeding the right amount of dog food will help prevent pimple/hotspot. Most skin problem is due to owner over feed their furkid & many misunderstand by blaming the dog food have high protein content. Alway follow the feeding guideline & no supplement required if feeding them high quality dog food diet.

Pimple/hotspot usually appear in puppyhood is normal. Once they grow up the problem will go away. Why in puppyhood? I stress again this is due to owner over feed the puppy. Most first time dog owner will feed as much as the puppy can eat as they think the puppy are growing and require all the nutritions, not only that dog owner tend to feed them too much but also over supplementation on the pup that resulted the pup over nutrition in their body required. That how the pimple/hotspot pooping out from their body. Usually it appear first on the stomach, thigh & along the spine area.

No over feeding & supplement!!! Encourage more water intake!!! It help solve your dog skin problem.

Above only part of it in maintaining a healthy skin & coat of a dog. It also involve other things like living environment, products use on their coat & daily care.

Thing that are out of your control are the genetic skin problem. You can't do much about it.

All premium dog foods brnad are good. Avoid supermarket brands!!!

ur saying my 1st choice dog food as 'not veli good' .... .......u should said 'is juz not d best in market'...

if all dogs need 2 go holistic....most owner or mayb substandard ppl like me sure pokai lor...

I thought you feed homecooked? Anyway, I don't really support Eukanuba coz they do unhealthy animal testing and their products contain alot of corn and wheat.... and with the recent case of the wheat gluten tainted with melamine, scared already with such brands.... Unless consume Eukanuba Lamb and Rice, then it is better.

Yah, Maybe i should adjust to say "it is not the best" Sorry yah....

You are wrong. Its still the best dog food in the market. Alot of ppls are blinded with alot of false allegations about Iams.

Whether you giving chicken or lamb the only different in that bag of dog food ingredient is the main protein source only.

Then I guess I'm one of the people who are blinded. Or maybe coz I didn't see good results on my dogs when they took Eukanuba.... well, individual thoughts and preference

Are you saying Eukanuba is the best dog food in the market??? Better than Eagle Pack Holistic, Innova Evo, California Natural, Pinnacle and Canidae?

They still the leading dog food manufacturer that produce good quality dog food.

They owned a high tech R&D facilities no other manufacturers can compare to them.

The ppls work there are biochemists, nutritionists, veterinarians, process engineers, food scientists, chemists, biologists and microbiologists.

More than a dozen significant firsts in the area of nutritional science. They hold more patents than many, if not all, from competitors. Example:- Omega 3 & 6, using real chicken meat as protein source, dog food cater to different breed & life stage & many many more.

Iams was founded back in 1946. I think back then Science Diet are their only competitors.

I think we all already out of topic liao. Thread about Silky Terrier now about dog food. LOL

Added on May 9, 2007, 8:09 pmEuro 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.

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.

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.

Hi Chrisoys!
Chris is one of the experienced caretaker of 8 silky (if Im not mistaken) plus some puppies recently. Btw, thanks for sharing info about Silky..Any questions can ask him.. is the experience that counts, now when do I get to play with ur puppy, Chris?

Chris, the appropriate times of feeding germaine is once a day is it?

Currently im feeding eagle pack hollistic lamb and rice..i feed twice a day morning and night wo...

I currently have 4 Silky. One of my Show Silky already run away can't find her back.

---

Added on May 10, 2007, 8:46 amGermaine reaching about 10-11 months old you can start feeding her adult dog food. Twice a day (small amount) till about 18months old then you can feed her once a day in the morning will do.

This post has been edited by chrisoys: May 10 2007, 08:46 AM

My dog is 4 years old (adult). Sister changed from eukanuba to a brand called "Best Choice", lamb and rice variety.

My dog seems to only like to eat/drink when there is someone around. Food and water refilled when it is empty. Is it a good practice?

You guys have a pic gallery of your silkies?

Provided the dog are eating & drinking there is no problem.

Do check out at Silky N' Frenz Club website & forum for more info & pics of Silky Terrier.

thanks chris.

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

Added on May 11, 2007, 9:03 am2 type:- Thick Harsh & Thin Soft

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.

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.

i got 2 silky terrier. but doctor said my terrier got way too many silk but i still love them as much and they looks incredibly cute to me. will upload some picture later

Harh? Too many silk? What is that suppose to mean ?

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.

This post has been edited by chrisoys: May 11 2007, 08:21 PM

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.

This post has been edited by chrisoys: May 13 2007, 04:48 PM

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...



This post has been edited by lovepassion: May 14 2007, 02:46 AM

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.

Jojo ran away.

It was JoJo More than 2 months still no news of her. Hope she alright & fine

I currently feeding them California Natural Chicken & Innova adult.

This two brands are suitable for all my Silkies. Doesn't mean it suit your dog as well. If your dog are doing well with the current brand my advice don't change just stick to it.

Jojo ran away ......
why ? then u must be missing her badly...
...........i hope Jojo is fine too...

Breeding pure breed dog is not just know how to take care litters.

Breeding pure breed dogs is also time consuming, expensive, and, occasionally, heartbreaking. If you go forward, your underlying purpose should be to improve the breed not just increase its numbers and you must be prepared to accept full responsibility for the puppies from the moment they are born until the day they die.

Breeding a litter should begin with knowledge & devote lifetimes to learning as much as you can about the breed, about canine health and training, and about MKA rules. How can you become an expert?

Study your breed standard.

Attend dog events. Watch dogs in action and learn the pedigrees of those you like. Ask questions of exhibitors in your breed.

Join a dog club. National parent clubs and local specialty clubs are devoted to specific breeds. If your interest lies in breeding for obedience, agility, or conformation events, consider joining a club specializing in these sports. All clubs educational programs and events designed to help you increase your expertise.

Read, read, read! Your library and bookstore are invaluable sources of information about canine health and breeding.

A good breeder will have a basic understanding of the about your prospective puppies-health, soundness, looks, temperament will be determined by the genes passed on by their parents, and by their parents before them. Therefore, the selection of a mating pair should not be made on the basis of the dog's or b****'s looks (or temperament, or soundness, and so forth) alone, but should be based on an understanding of how the animal's genes contributed to its looks, and of how those genes are passed on and expressed. That is why it is essential to study the pedigrees of your mating pair. The more knowledge you have as you make your selection, the more likely you are to produce a litter with the qualities you desire.

As far as health goes, you must be aware that dogs are subject to many hereditary defects, some of which are potentially crippling or fatal. If you breed, you carry the responsibility of ensuring that the dogs you produce are not affected by the major known hereditary diseases occurring in your breed. Do not take this warning lightly. Consider how devastated you would feel if the beautiful eight-week-old puppy you place in a loving home develops a crippling hip problem at one year of age. Ignorance is no excuse for having contributed to this tragic situation.

Good Luck

Well Im sorry that u think that way.. It scared me when I read it myself. But its the fact that I will have to keep for a long time to come. How can u compare a dog to a human? If u know that u suffer from a weird genetic disorder and it could harm ur future generation if u insist to have offsprings.. will u think of having it or not?
Im sorry to say that dogs do not have the previledge to choose of their owners and their future, if they can they will definitely choose freedom. So we are talking about being responsible dog owners who will try the best to upkeep the breed standards and originality of the dogs, and also to minimize the quantity of unwanted dogs.. Im helping my vet to do some charity and I have a long list of abandoned dogs waiting to be adopted.. anyone? Btw, sorry for being possessed by 'Hitler' awhile there.. Im just trying to share my experience as a dog keeper and a strong message to future dog keepers to a make a promise and dedication to oneself, of the responsibilty of keeping and breeding dogs.
