The Skye Terrier is a breed of dog that is a long, low terrier that is hardy.
History
The Skye Terrier originated in Scotland, from the Isle of Skye, in the 1600s. Legend has it that at that time, a Spanish ship wrecked off the coast of the Isle of Skye. Maltese dogs that survived the wreck bred with local terriers and the Skye Terrier was born. This breed was developed as a working terrier to protect the fields from badgers, foxes and other small vermin. Eventually, the Skye Terrier became a favorite of British royalty and the breed became more of a companion than a working dog. The most famous Skye Terrier was named "Bobby". This dog was a symbol of faithfulness and loyalty. After his owner died, "Bobby" stayed by his graveside for 10 years as the townspeople fed and cared for him. After his passing, a statue of "Bobby" was erected. In 1887, the Skye Terrier was recognized by the American Kennel Club as a member of the terrier group.
Appearance and Size
The traditional long silky glossy coat that reaches the floor requires daily brushing to avoid tangles. Although the long coat is beautiful, often the coat is clipped short to simplify care, in a "puppy clip". For conformation showing, the coat must be left in its natural state, although trimming for neatness around the feet and anus is allowed. Because Shih Tzu noses are small and flat, owners often wipe the dog's face with a damp paper towel to remove food remnants after the dog has eaten a meal. Shih Tzu may be trained to drink out of a water bottle. The water bottle keeps the face clean and dry preventing unsightly red yeast from growing on the Shih Tzu beard and moustache. Owners often tie strands of hair from the Shih Tzu's head into a pony tail that sticks up.
Personality
The Skye Terrier is a loving and loyal companion dog. The breed is known for his spunk, courage and playfulness. Cautious and reserved around strangers, the Skye Terrier is a good watchdog and will bark when strangers approach their territory. Some can be headstrong and stubborn but most are sweet and gentle with a noble streak.
