Featured Famous Skye Terrier Dog

Greyfriars Bobby

Bobby became a famous little pooch after news got out about this sad dog who spent 14 years guarding the grave of his owner until he himself passed away. A well known story in Scotland, it shows the love and devotion a dog can have for his master. The locals came to know this little dog and took care of him, and he was given a collar and a license by Sir William Chambers, who was also the director of the Scottish Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to animals, which enabled him to continue his vigil undeterred. After the dog died, the locals made sure that he was buried close to his master. A statue was erected to honor his devotion and many tales have been told of this dedicated pooch. Sad that he was parted from his master so early in his life, but at least he had friends in the community that watched out for him.To this day, his statue and story still attract visitors to his monument, with people leaving sticks for his ghost to chase or chew.

The Skye Terrier is a wonderful dog who does well in shows, such as Charlie, a YouTube hero who won people's hearts with his long groomed coat and fluffy ears. While his eyes were almost hidden under that gorgeous long coat, he seemed to have no trouble finding his way around or locating a treat. These low to the ground, long body dogs with the raised feathered ears, are a show stealer where ever they go. A happy grin and a pink tongue hanging out is the sign of a happy pooch, and this little Terrier seems to always be happy. Just go online to YouTube; you will find a lot on the Skye Terrier and you will see why this exquisite little dog will steal your heart.

Skye Terrier Dog Name Considerations

When trying to choose a name for your Skye Terrier, the things that you can use to prompt your decision could be niche areas such as where you live (names of rivers, parks, streets), or types of food (sweets, cakes or coffee types) and even famous canine movie stars, although I don't think Lassie would apply well for this dog - the Skye Terrier has very short legs. Whichever name you choose, it has to be easy to say, it should work well with the commands that you will be using to train your dog, and it should not be offensive. Funny names can wear off very quickly, so be careful of your choice there as well. Your dog is going to be your soul mate for the length of his short but very active life, so be nice and give him a name that you can be proud of.
