Description:
Harry was brought in by the wonderful people at Higgins House in Sanford. Harry had been found near their restaraunt roaming with no collar and no info on where he came from. After taking Harry to the vet to get him cleaned up and checked out, they kept him for several days awaiting someone to claim this adorable dog, but no one ever did.

Harry is a very unique blend of Yorkie and the popular breed, Dachshund. His sweet disposition fits both of the breeds temperament descriptions. He seems to like everyone including other dogs. Though shy at first, he quickly warms up and just wants to cuddle with you. Now wouldn't Harry be the perfect fit for that lap dog you've been wanting?

Not familiar with silky terriers? According to www.dogbreedinfo.com, the Silky Terrier was originally developed in 19th century Australia from other terrier breeds such as the Skye and Cairn but primarily the Australian Terrier and the Yorkshire Terrier. American servicemen stationed in Australia during World War II brought Silky Terriers home with them after the war. This loving, little terrier is very intelligent, courageous and alert. Affectionate, spunky cheerful and sociable, they like to be close to their master, but do not accept them to be a "mellow" lap dog. They are full of energy. Curious about everything, it is an enthusiastic digger. They have the soft hair of the Yorkie and the stockier build of the Aussie. Their hair can be allowed to grow long and does not shed (okay, all dogs shed, but not much). They are truly a "big dog in a small body." They have a life exectancy of 12-15 years.
