Thanks & Accolades

Our thanks to Gloria Weiss without whom the historical and genealogical information contained herein would have not only been inaccessible, but may never have been collected at all.  Gloria is the foremost expert on Manchester Terrier pedigrees in the world.  Since 1984 she has amassed a database containing the pedigrees of more than 50,000 individual American Standard and Toy Manchester Terriers and also maintains similar databases for both English Toy Terriers and Manchester Terriers in the UK.  This information is invaluable not only with regard to historical interest, but provides an indispensable tool for monitoring the genetic health and diversity of our breed as a whole.  Manchester Terriers and their fanciers are most assuredly indebted to Gloria for her hard work and dedication.
