Summary
About Skye Terrier
Skye Terriers are long, low terriers from Scotland with a straight, floor-length double coat. Bred to hunt fox and badger, they are calm, loyal and often bond closely with one person. Reserved with strangers, they need moderate exercise, regular grooming, and thoughtful, positive training.
About Belgian Griffon
Small, sturdy toy dog from Brussels with a humanlike “monkey face” and big eyes. Rough, wiry coat in black or black and tan. Deeply attached, sensitive, and people focused, they are lively, intelligent, alert watchdogs who thrive on gentle training, company, and regular grooming.
