The origin of the Skye Terrier is linked with a shipwreck. In the early 1600's a Spanish ship hit rocks of the island of Skye in the Scottish Hebrides. Amongst the survivors were Maltese dogs that mated with native terriers and created the new breed of the Skye Terrier. Now, add this dog to your Italian charm. Shown here is this gorgeous pet whose body coat hangs straight down on each side, parting from head to its tail. Above the image of this dog will be the name of your own Skye Terrier. This is a great gift to give to any Skye Terrier owner.
