BREED HISTORY

Given the distinguished appearance of the Manchester Terrier, it is no surprise that this dog was once nicknamed the "Gentleman's Terrier." Wanting to create a dog that could kill rats and chase rabbits, the original breeder mated a Whippet and a Black and Tan Terrier. The resulting dog wore a short black coat with rich brown markings and possessed a spunky personality.

Over time, the dog has evolved into a mellower canine distinguished by a pointed muzzle and ears that hang above the eyes. Today, the breed exists in Standard and Toy varieties, both of which make affectionate companions and pets.
