In North America the Manchester Terrier is divided into two varieties. The Toy Manchester Terrier was originally recognized as a separate breed in 1938, bred down in size from the Manchester Terrier. The Toy Manchester Terrier weighs less than 12 pounds and has naturally erect ears, never cropped. It is placed in the Toy Group by the Canadian Kennel Club and the American Kennel Club, although the Manchester Terrier is placed in the Terrier Group. The Manchester Terrier non-toy variety weighs 12 to 22 pounds and has 3 allowable ear types (naturally erect, button, or cropped). Other than size differences and ear type, the Manchester Terrier and the Toy Manchester Terrier have the same over all appearance, and since 1958 have been varieties of the same breed.
Manchester Terrier comes in two different sizes, Toy and Standard. Toy: Height: 10-12 inches; Weight: 6-8 pounds Standard: Height: 15-16 inches; Weight: 17-18 pounds
They get along well with children, but may try to dominate other dogs. This breed needs to get used to cats and other household pets at a young age.They make excellent watchdogs.
