A tiny terrier in a silky coat with a very big attitude

Best-matched service
Yes, they are alert and quick to sound the alarm. Early training and calm handling help, but they will always be vocal.
They suit older, gentle children best. Their tiny size makes them easily hurt by rough handling, and they may snap when frightened.
Very little, as the hair is fine and human-like. It does tangle easily, so brush daily or keep the coat clipped short.
