Information Links about Manchesters and Breeders

The Manchester Terrier is a small, black, short-coated dog with distinctive rich mahogany markings and a taper style tail. In structure, the Manchester presents a sleek, sturdy, yet elegant look, and has a wedge-shaped, long and clean head with a keen, bright, alert expression. The smooth, compact, muscular body expresses great power and agility. The Manchester Terrier was known long ago as ''the gentlemen's terrier''. The Manchester was bred in England in the district of Manchester to kill vermin and course small game. There are two varieties of the Manchester Terrier Breed, Standard and Toy. Except for size and ear options, there are no differences between the Standard and Toy varieties. The Toy is a diminutive version of the Standard variety.
