The Australian Silky Terrier is a toy breed of dog.
As the name suggests it originates in Australia.
The first record of an Australian Silky Terrier exhibited in Australia is at a show in Sydney in 1880.
Victoria was the first state to give official recognition.
In his early days the dog was used as a ratter.
These days most live as family companions.
Despite their small size they make an excellent an burglar alarm.
They are also noted for being very territorial.
