A Skye Terrier male adult with dark grey long coat
This type of terrier is a breed of dog that is a long, low, hardy terrier. The coat of the Skye Terrier is double coated, with a short, soft undercoat and a hard, straight topcoat. The length of the ideal coat of the terrier is about 5 1/2 inches (14 cm), with no extra credit for a longer coat. The shorter hair of the head veils the forehead and eyes, forming a moderate beard.
Cute little Skye Terrier puppies
The ears of the Skye Terrier are well feathered and, in prick-eared examples, the hair should fall like a fringe, accenting the form, and blending with the side locks.Except for the shape and size of the ears, there is no significant difference nor preference given between the prick- and drop-eared types.

When prick, they are medium sized, carried high on the skull and angled slightly outwards. In the drop type, the ears are set lower, are larger, and should hang flat against the head, with little or no muscle movement forwards and backwards.
