The average Australian Silky Terrier is about ten inches at the withers, and weighs about ten pounds(3-4 kg). Its head is longer than that of the Yorkshire Terrier but shorter than that of the Australian Terrier. The coat is five to six inches long(12-15 cm) with a silky texture. and if we talk about this dg temperament, Australian Silky Terriers are bred as house dogs, so tend to have a strong attachment to their owner and owner’s family, coupled with a slight suspicion of strangers and strange dogs.

If a visitor is welcomed by the owner most will then completely accept the visitor and try to get attention from them.

According to Pedigree.com.sg:

The Australian Silky Terrier is friendly to all the family, but will usually attach itself to one member and be friendly with the rest. It will tolerate strangers, but no more than that. It will love children if raised with them, but it doesn’t enjoy being fussed over or being treated like an animated toy and prefers to be treated as an equal.
