Breed Description
Bred to resemble a Silky Terrier, Mini Silkies should have long flowing body coats, bangs, muffs on their cheeks, beards, and abundant hair on their necks and chests that blends with the body coat. Coats should have high luster and a silky texture, sparking when they catch the sunlight. Bucks typically have more body coat and heavier bangs than does, though does often seem more elegant as a result. Ideally, bucks measure 23.5 inches at the withers, with 22.5 inches being ideal for does.
