The Silky Terrier breed was developed around the turn of the century in Australia from crossings of native Australian Terriers and imported Yorkshire Terriers. The Silky was originally known as the Sydney Silky Terrier, in 1955 the official name for the breed became the Australian Silky Terrier. The first official meeting of the Sydney Silky Terrier Club of America was held on March 25, 1955, and in July of that year, the name was changed by a vote of its members to Silky Terrier Club of America.
