Ricky ~ Silky Terrier (no longer availablel)

Ricky is a tiny, 3 year old, male, silky terrier x. If you're looking for a best friend then Ricky is for you. He has many expressions and a lot of personality for such a little dog. He is a sooky, snuggle-pot that just wants your company and love. He is quite happy to sit beside you on the lounge or on your lap or even in your arms as he rests his head on your shoulder.

Ricky can be playful at times. He does a funny little thing with his feet when he is excited and ready to go. He likes to play with any stuffed toy that is small enough for him to grip with his tiny mouth.

Ricky is toilet trained and is an inside dog. Not only would he like to share your company, he would really like to share your bed too!

Ricky walks well on a lead and when off lead he doesn't venture to far from your side and always returns once his name is called. He loves car rides too. He has some basic training and he is still very young and could learn more if you want to teach him or take him to training classes.

Ricky is intimidated by other dogs, especially any dog bigger then himself. He would prefer being an only dog. He doesn't like to be home alone all day so someone who is retired or only works part time would suit him best. Ricky is fine with cats.

Ricky is a little timid and can be scared easily by loud noises and quick movements so a home with no children or only older children (over the age of around eight) would be better for him.
