Manchester Terrier

Google Square Ad

The Manchester Terrier is energetic, friendly, happy and affectionate.  He may be wary of strangers, and will therefore guard his home.  You will know someone is near from your Manchester's shrill bark.  But not to worry, this dog is not known for constant yapping.  The Manchester was used for rat killing and was quite proficient at it.

Training

Potty training your puppy will probably not be difficult.  The Manchester Terrier is intelligent and a good candidate for all types of training. 

Exercise

Your terrier does not require great deals of exercise, and would do well in an apartment.

Grooming

The Manchester Terrier has a single layer coat, either black and tan, jet black or rich mahogany tan.  This single layer results in little need for grooming.

Health

 The Manchester Terrier may be prone to Von Willebrand's disease - a blood disorder.
