They have a thick, wiry coat that protects them from the weather, and that makes them excellent companions for hunting trips. While most small dogs are more active than larger ones, the Skilky Terrier still needs regular exercise. They are a high-energy, playful little dog that is best-suited for a home with fenced yard where they can play and run around. If you are looking for a companion that you can play and run alongside, a Skilky Terrier may be the perfect dog for you. They may not be the bounciest or most boisterous, but they love to scamper around outside. A daily walk or a game of fetch will help to keep your Skilky happy, healthy, and well-adjusted.
