Our introduction into the world of the Manchester Terrier started with Dianna's adoption of a rescued "mixed-breed" Manchester Terrier. Finding this breed very versatile and adaptable to our life styles we were ready for more. We did our research and found the Toys who started us on our journey; Cadie, and Stormie. Eventually not being satisfied with the just the girls we added Rudy to their ranks all easily adapting to the dogs already living in our homes.

    We are a small home based kennel located in the San Francisco Bay Area. Our dogs live and share our homes, families, and activities with us. They are always underfoot and exposed to whatever is happening; be it boating, camping, dog parks or strolling down Main Street. An evening on the couch will always find your Toy near you.

    The Manchester Terrier was developed in England and originated from the Black and Tan Terrier, the oldest known terrier breed. They are neither barky nor neurotic and make good watchdogs. Not being a sparring breed they are generally friendly with other dogs. They easily fit into city living as well as country living.

As breeders of healthy dogs we test for:

vWD (von Willibrand disease), Legg-Calve-Perthes disease, hip/elbow dysplasia, patellar luxation and congenital heart disease. Testing is through OFA (Orthopedic Foundation for Animals, Inc.) and CERF (Canine Eye Registration Foundation) testing for vision. These are diseases that can be found in the Manchester Terrier and we make every effort not to reproduce these traits in the offspring.
