About
Manchester Terrier
Often mistaken
for a “Miniature Doberman”, this
breed called Manchester Terrier is truly a
breed of its own. This dog lives to please
and responds well to early, consistent training.
It is important to keep its energy directed
in useful play or with tricks so it does not
become bored and destructive.
Crate training is a good
option for this breed that loves to chew,
as it will keep both home and pet safe while
you are away. Having both intelligence and
spirit, Manchester Terrier is a good candidate
for agility or obedience training, making
a great experience for families with older
children.

While their watchdog instincts
make a good breed for apartment living, the barking
that accompanies it must be dealt with in early
training. Small children and non-canine pets that
were introduced while still young should be accepted.
Respect should be shown to the pets’ toys
and food.
The skin can be sensitive though
and should be protected from prolonged exposure
to sun.
