The Australian Silky Terrier is often said to be the result of a planned
mating between an Australian Terrier Type dog ,? ? and a Yorkshire Terrier
Type dog,?
But because stud records were not kept in the early days this can only be
supposition.
Around the year 1900 the Australian Terrier Club
was formed but folded a couple of years later,
leading to the formation of the Victorian Silky and Yorkshire Terrier
Club.
In 1904 this new club drew up a standard for the breed.
Soon after breeders in Sydney formed the Sydney Silky Club, and developed
a separate
standard for what was to be known as the Sydney Silky.
Until 1959 that the
Silky was
recognized as being a breed and was given the name Australian Silky
Terrier and the official breed standard drawn up.
