The Manchester Terrier

Terrier Group

The Manchester Terrier (Toy and Standard) is a high-spirited, lively dog that will demand plenty of exercise. They enjoy ample opportunity to exercise and will do so inside or out. A Toy may be better for apartment living. The Manchester should be trained and socialized early, but should not be trusted with non-canine pets. Some can be dog aggressive. As a family dog it should be exposed to children as a puppy. Grooming requirements are minimal.

Book Suggestions


We STRONGLY recommend that you get your dog from a respectable breeder or rescue organization. Pet store puppies may get their dogs from Puppy Mills that normally breed only for profit, not quality or concern for the puppy or its eventual owner.

If you would like help locating a breeder or rescue agency near you please E-Mail PGAA ( ita408@comcast.net), and let us know your city/state and the type of dog you are looking for. Do not assume that PGAA has qualified all of the breeders or rescues on this site. Do your own check of each breeder or rescue -- be sure that you are comfortable with the organization before you buy, adopt or turn-over a dog.
