The Skye Terrier is a small breed of terrier from the Isle of Skye in Scotland. These dogs are small in size, with a long and wiry coat of fur. They have a dignified and independent demeanor, with an instinct for hunting. They are highly intelligent and trainable, but require firm and consistent training to be obedient. They are loyal and devoted to their family, but can be stubborn and independent at times.
