Judges Education

The CMTC Education committee is pleased to provide the following resources to assist judges wishing to learn more about evaluating Manchester Terriers (Toy and Standard).

Breed Standards
Though the Manchester Terrier is registered as a single breed, the Canadian Kennel currently maintains two separate but very similar breed standards for the two varieties.  The CMTC is working to address this inconsistency.

• Toy Manchester Breed Standard

• Standard Manchester Breed Standard

• Guide to Judging Abroad (tip sheet on breed standard differences and copies of international bred standards)

• Historical breed standards as well as current breed standards used in other countries can be found in our Reading Room.

Presentation Materials
The CMTC has created an informative presentation outlining the breed's history, form and function, breed standard, and touching on the finer points of breed type.

• PowerPoint (7.5 MB)
• PDF - slides only (13 MB)
• Web version (will display in your browser)

Reading Room
Visit the CMTC's Reading Room for detailed information on the history of the Manchester Terrier as well as interesting discussions of Canadian MT history, Manchesters in art and much more!  Resources specific to judging include:

• Manchester Terrier, "You Be The Judge" by Robert Cole (PDF, 1.8 MB)

• An Analysis of the Breed Standard by Breeder-Judge Rodney Herner

• 'The Judges Talk About Manchester Terriers' & 'Breeders Speaker Out', Dogs in Review (September 2008)

• The Manchester Terrier, Canine Review (July 2008)

Awards
