Welcome to the Manchester Terrier Picture Page.

This breed was developed in 18th and 19th centuries in England. The Toy Manchester Terrier was originally used as a ratter and kept as a companion. He is a crossed between the Whippet and terrier bloodlines.

His lineage can be traced back to the old hunting Black and Tan Terrier which in north of England had the reputation of being a supreme rat killer.

This breed was once closely related to a white English Terrier that seems to have vanished probably due to his tendency to deafness. The Manchester Terrier has evolved as a reliable house dog that maintained a keen sporting instincts.

A number of this breed was exported form the United Kingdom to the United States, Canada, and then later on to Germany in the 1800s. Early Manchester Terriers had cropped ears, which is a practice that became illegal in the United Kingdom in 1895.
