Manchester Terriers as Pets
Loyal. Devoted. Intelligent.
Agile.
The Manchester Terrier is truly one of the
dog worlds’ best kept secrets. Let us tell you why.
Manchester Terriers are exceptionally loyal, loving and devoted. They
are extremely versatile and enjoy spending time with their family,
whether that means curling up next to their owners on the couch,
snuggling under the covers in bed or taking part in more athletic
pursuit like agility, flyball, hiking and running.
The Manchester Terrier is keenly observant, very responsive to his
owner and may be discerning and reserved towards strangers. It is
important that all Manchesters be properly socialized with people,
children and other animals from an early age. Obedience classes are
recommended and can provide an excellent opportunity for owners to bond
with their new addition.
And what about kids? The breed can make an excellent addition
to a young family, however puppies must be properly socialized with
children from a young age. It is important that children are taught to
treat all dogs respectfully. As a rule, no small child should be left
unattended with any dog of any breed.
