Skye Terriers are dogs of strong character and undying loyalty, showing unmatched devotion to their owners.  A dog of extreme intelligence, they will quickly ascertain the "lay of the land" and if they can rule the land - they will! Skye Terriers are not for everyone. They require a lot of socialization as youngsters to willingly accept all new situations and strangers. A Skye puppy will test a new owner's patience, and the owner must set the rules in the household using firm and sensible discipline (not physical). A Skye will respect the owner who is the undoubted master of the household and give him/her many years of love, joy and companionship. Skye owners are amongst the most loyal of breed owners. Once you realize you are suited to this "heavenly" breed, it is hard to imagine your life without one.  ~Judy Umeck, Skyecrest Skye Terriers,  Clayton, NC  USA
