AKC ideal height is 10 in for dogs and 9.5 in for bitches (length to height 2 to 1); FCI ideal height at the withers is 25 to 26 cm, with length from nose to tail about 105 cm.\n- *[Paraphrased derived summary — non-Open-Access source.]* Coat: a double coat with a short, close, soft woolly undercoat and a hard, straight, flat outer coat about 5.5 in long; it parts from head to tail and hangs straight down each side, while the head hair veils the forehead and eyes and forms a beard and apron, and the ears carry long straight feathering.\n- *[Paraphrased derived summary — non-Open-Access source.]* Colour: one overall colour at the skin — black, blue, dark or light grey, silver platinum, fawn or cream — with the desirable black points on ears, muzzle and tail tip; there must be no pattern or clear-cut colour variation, except a permissible white spot on the chest not over 2 in across.\n- *[Paraphrased derived summary — non-Open-Access source.]* Head and temperament: a long powerful head with close-set brown (preferably dark) eyes, prick or drop ears, and a black nose; the typical working-terrier character is fearless, good-tempered, loyal and canny, friendly with those it knows but reserved and cautious with strangers (FCI adds elegant, dignified, a one-man dog, distrustful of strangers yet never vicious).\n- *[Paraphrased derived summary — non-Open-Access source.]* Disqualifications: a Dudley, flesh-coloured or brown nose (AKC). FCI also disqualifies aggressive or overly shy dogs and any dog clearly showing physical or behavioural abnormality; males should have two normal descended testicles.\n","sources":["companion-breed-standard — Skye Terrier — breed standard (AKC & FCI: size, coat, temperament, type) (retrieved 2026-08-02)"],"source":{"authority":"companion-breed-standard","title":"Skye Terrier — breed standard (AKC & FCI: size, coat, temperament, type)","url":"https://www.akc.org","retrieved":"2026-08-02","ref":"","doc_type":"official PDF","source_document":"AKC (American Kennel Club) & FCI (Fédération Cynologique Internationale)","verification_file":"pdf-raw/breed-standard/skye_terrier_combined.txt"},"source_document":"AKC (American Kennel Club) & FCI (Fédération Cynologique Internationale)","source_file":"pdf-raw/breed-standard/skye_terrier_combined.txt","trust":{"authority_tier":"T1","fidelity":"paraphrase","license":"paraphrase","display_grade":"C"},"tokens_estimated":703,"generated_at":null,"tip":"Use /api/v1/topics to discover more topics. /api/v1/nutrient for precise single-point queries. /api/v1/cross_compare for 2-3 standard comparisons."}
