Toy Manchester Terrier

The Toy Manchester Terrier is a small, lively breed of dog that has been around since the 1800s.

Originating in England, this breed was developed to hunt vermin and small game. They were also used for rat-baiting, a cruel sport in which dogs were pitted against rats in a fight to the death.

In the early 1900s, the Toy Manchester Terrier was recognized by the American Kennel Club as a distinct breed. This breed is known for its intelligence, loyalty, and alertness.

The Toy Manchester Terrier is a small, muscular dog with a short, glossy coat. They come in two colors: black and tan or solid black. They have a long, pointed muzzle and ears that stand erect.

This breed is an active and energetic companion. They need plenty of exercise and mental stimulation to stay happy and healthy. They are also very loyal and make excellent watchdogs.

The Toy Manchester Terrier is a great choice for those looking for a small, intelligent, and loyal companion. With proper training and socialization, they can be a wonderful addition to any family.
