The Skye Terrier
- The Skye Terrier is more suitable for a companion or house dog, and to kill a rat when occasion requires, than for the more serious work of exterminating foxes and other large vermin, for which he was used in days gone by. As a matter of fact, the coat, when quite perfect, is so long that its owner cannot do the duties of a terrier, even if he could see through the hair over his eyes, which is often so thick as almost to prevent his being able to detect anything in front of him.
