Adopting a Silky Terrier

Frequently asked questions about acquiring an Silky Terrier - the pros and cons of adopting versus going through a breeder, and associated costs.

You can adopt a Silky Terrier at a much lower cost than buying one from a breeder. The cost of adopting a Silky Terrier is around $300 in order to cover the expenses of caring for the dog before adoption. In contrast, buying Silky Terriers from breeders can be prohibitively expensive. Depending on their breeding, they usually cost anywhere from $800 to $3,500.

The easiest way to adopt a Silky Terrier is through a rescue that specializes in the breed. A great place to start is by starting a breed search on Adopt a Pet. The search will show you all the available Silky Terriers in your area.

Silky Terrier fun facts

Fun Facts:

DNA evidence confirms that several breeds are involved in the Silky Terrier's lineage, among them Cairn Terrier, Dandie Dinmont Terrier, and the Tasmanian Broken-coated Terrier.

Silky Terriers are often mistaken for large Yorkies.

In the early 1900s, immigrants from the UK would bring their Yorkshire Terriers with them to their new home in Australia and the Silky Terrier originated from cross-breeding with the local Australian terriers.
