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 Russkiy Toy
Tiny, elegant toy breed (1–3 kg, 20–28 cm) with smooth or long coat. Lively, athletic, and strongly attached to family, often choosing a favorite person. Alert and vocal, suited to gentle, consistent training and moderate exercise, but physically delicate and needs careful handling.
