Home » Dog Breeds » Manchester Terrier Dog Breed
The Manchester Terrier is named after the English city where much of the breed’s early development took place. Sleek, racy dogs who possess a terrier’s ratting instinct and the graceful contours of coursing hounds, Manchesters are spirited, bright, and athletic. They combine the streamlined grace of a coursing hound and the instincts of a fearless rat terrier. These racy dogs come in two size varieties: Standard (not exceeding 22 pounds) and Toy (not exceeding 12 pounds).

Manchester Terriers are considered among the earliest known Terrier breeds with mentions in history dating from as early as the 16th century.
I would like to give you an insight into what a judge should look for when judging Manchester Terriers, both Toy and Standard.
