Rodney and Silky are an adorable sweet-natured but slightly reticent pair of 4 year old Silky terriers. Silky is the more outgoing of the two and wiggles her hips and wags her tail at the slightest sign of attention. Rodney is rather wary of strangers, men especially, but he can be won over by any friend of Silky’s, and loves to be petted by people he trusts. These quiet little silkies require a patient approach to win their trust, but they will demonstrate their loyal, affectionate and cheerful natures in the right home.

They are independant, no trouble at all, easy-going, undemanding little dogs, and they hardly ever bark either! They are very well-behaved in the car and love going for walks, when they will happily follow their carer whether they are on or off the lead. They have been together almost all of their lives, so CAWI is looking for someone who can adopt them as a pair.

Update 15/5/12 Rodney & Silky are going on trial (together – hurrah!)
