Skye Terriers are small to medium-sized dogs, typically weighing between 25-40 pounds. They stand about 9-10 inches tall at the shoulder. Their long, low body gives them a distinctive appearance.

Skye Terriers are known for being loyal, affectionate, and somewhat reserved with strangers. They are intelligent and can be quite independent, which may lead to stubbornness if not properly trained. They bond closely with their families and can be protective, making them good watchdogs.

This breed is known for its long, flowing double coat, which is weather-resistant. The outer coat is straight and harsh, while the undercoat is soft and dense. The Skye Terrier’s coat can come in various colors, including gray, cream, black, and fawn, often with a mix of these shades.

This breed does well in a home environment where they can be part of the family. While they enjoy some outdoor time, they are also content in an apartment or smaller living space as long as their exercise needs are met. Regular grooming is necessary to maintain their coat.

Skye Terriers can engage in various activities that cater to their physical and mental needs, including:

• Daily walks and play sessions
• Basic obedience training and tricks
• Agility and obstacle courses
• Socialization with other dogs and people
• Interactive toys and puzzle games

Regular exercise and mental stimulation are essential for keeping Skye Terriers happy and healthy. Engaging them in activities helps prevent behavioral issues and supports their overall well-being.
