Sky terrier is one of the oldest dog breeds. As early as the beginning of the 17th century, near the Isle of Skye (a group of the Hebrides), the Spanish ship wrecked. Among the rescued were several dogs. Later they crossed with Scottish Terriers, which marked the beginning of a new breed - the Sky Terrier. This version of the origin of these dogs adheres to most dog handlers. However, it should be noted that other breeds, such as spaniels, undoubtedly took part in the formation of the modern type.

Sky terriers need regular (at least once a week) combing. Otherwise, their beautiful coat will become dirty or fall off. It is necessary to periodically cut the hair between the pads on the paws and fingers, otherwise twigs, dirt, sand, etc. will be stuck there. Playful and energetic dogs need daily walks that should last long enough.
Sky terrier will become a loyal and devoted friend to an understanding and attentive owner!
