The Manchester Terrier is a compact, lithe bodied dog, smooth coated, agile and very intelligent.

Refining the breed over it's long history has given us a clean robust dog that looks as much like a small undocked Dobermann.

*

They have an eager spirited temperament and given due cause are ready to defend their home and friends with great courage. They are quick to voice their dissaproval of events with their loud penetrating bark. they are not yappy dogs and are seldom noisy without good reason, ( In their opinion).

*

They have a mischevious nature and bore easily. With regular exercise and constant companionship they become loyal and devoted members of the family; tending to select one person as their particular friend. They will accept as much exercise as you care to give them and most M T's, true to their past, are passionate and efficient rodent hunters.

*

Their short black & tan coats sheds little hair, it's high gloss is also a good indicator of their general state of health.

*

A regular wipe over with a damp chamois and occasional use of a 'hound glove' is all the grooming they normally require.

*

Their large appetites, but small needs require care with feeding if they are to keep their slim, elegant looks.

*

They are an endearing breed, full of life and humour, anxious to share with you every moment and aspect of your life. Above all they are very much a Terrier
