Temperament and Behavior
Being devoted and friendly, the Silky Poo loves its people, following them from one room to another, or joining them in their daily family life to please. It does not like being left alone in the house showing signs of nervousness under such circumstances.
Despite its graceful appearance, the Poolky can be mischievous, goofy, and is always ready to play. Because of its terrier ancestry, it may chase small animals and sound an alarm if a stranger enters its territory.
It gets along well with babies, making a good playing companion for toddlers provided the children know how to approach and handle a dog.
Care
Exercise
Silky Poos are active dogs that need moderate exercise along with mental stimulation. They enjoy romping in the yard, walking with their owner, or going to the dog park. They will be more than happy to take their workout indoors with an enthralling game of fetch.
Grooming
When it comes to grooming, the Silkypoos require a thorough combing and brushing twice or thrice a week, along with an occasional bath to remove mat and keep their coat free from tangles. You can brush their teeth regularly and trim their nails once a month.
Health Problems
Silkydoodles are a healthy breed, but some individuals may be prone to Legg-Perthes disease, epilepsy, patellar luxation, diabetes mellitus, hypothyroidism, and progressive retinal atrophy.
Training
Socialization: Taking your Silky Poo out and walking it on a leash around a public place will help it in growing comfortable with people and other dogs. If it barks or becomes unruly, do not yell or pull back on its leash. Make sure that you maintain calm-assertive energy. You can distract your dog with a light tug of its leash sideways, touch, or a unique sound you have used while training it.
Dealing its chasing instincts: Silky Poos often chase cats, squirrels, or other rodents for fun. The desire to chase small moving objects can come from a lot of reasons including boredom and lack of exercise. If your Silky Poo has high prey drive, let your dog play with balls, Frisbees, and Kong toys in the yard so that it can efficiently expend its energy. Enrolling your pet in training facilities offering classes on obedience, tracking, and agility is also an energy-releasing alternative.
Feeding
Provide your Poolky with about three-fourth to one-and-a-half cups of dry food on a daily basis.

I am looking for a brother and sister pair of silky poo’s. One black and tan and one all black. Preferably the male black and tan and the female all black.
