Good to know

  • Small ratter: the Toy variety of the Manchester Terrier, it shares the breed's ratting history and keen prey drive.
  • Easy coat: the short, smooth coat needs only occasional brushing, though they can feel the cold.
  • Lively and alert: they are watchful, energetic little dogs that enjoy play and training.

Getting out with a Manchester Terrier (Toy)

They need daily exercise beyond a stroll: longer trails, games of fetch and time to run at the park.
