Toy Manchester Terrier

This friendly, playful, family-oriented dog is reserved with strangers and has the instinct to hunt.

Breed Overview

Toy Manchester Terriers originated in England for the purpose of hunting small rodents. Though their appearance is very similar to that of the Miniature Pinscher, they do have their differences. Toy Manchester Terriers tend to be slightly smaller and are less busy than the Min Pin. Toy Manchester Terriers are playful, yet they can be reserved and timid toward strangers. These dogs make good pets for families with older children. They only need a short walk each day and their short coat requires minimal grooming.
