Toy Manchester Terrier -
Purebred Dogs and Puppies

Toy Manchester Terrier


A member of the AKC Toy group, The Toy Manchester Terrier is a small, black, short-coated dog with distinctive rich mahogany markings and a taper style tail. The toy manchester variety must weigh less than 12 pounds.



The Manchester Terrier is a devoted and affectionate dog who makes a good house pet and watch dog. The smooth, compact, muscular body expresses great power and agility, enabling the Manchester to kill vermin and course small game and as such Manchester Terriers should not be trusted with other small non-canine animals or pets.

There are two varieties of the Manchester Terrier, the Toy and the Standard. Except for size and ear options, there are no differences between the Standard and Toy varieties of the Manchester Terrier. The Toy is a diminutive version of the Standard variety.

Watch one of these dogs in action



This little dog breed has a similar behavioral profile as the Standard Manchester Terrier, with a few minor differences. The Toy Manchester is relatively healthy, easy to keep clean and practically odorless.

Though he can be very affectionate with his owners, he can be a one-person dog and very suspicious of strangers. Remember, these are terriers and may show aggression toward other dogs. They have a high prey drive toward small animals.

He is a skilled little watchdog. Like most toy breeds, this dog needs proper handling and socialization. The Toy Manchester can be harder to housebreak than the Standard Manchester. These short haired little dogs are also more sensitive to extremes in temperature and will appreciate a sweater on cold days.

Country of origin: England
Lifespan: 15 or more years
Colors: Black and tan
Known health problems: Glaucoma, Von Willebrand's disease
