A sleek black-and-tan ratter with a big personality
The Manchester Terrier was developed in northern England to catch rats and rabbits, and it is quick, athletic and alert. Its short glossy coat is very easy to care for, but it needs plenty of activity and keeps its strong chase instinct.

This breed needs about 60 minutes of activity a day. Around 3 sitter-led sessions a week keeps that routine going when work or travel gets in the way.

Yes, the short smooth coat needs very little care. A quick weekly brush and the occasional bath are usually enough.
They are people-loving dogs and can become anxious or destructive if left for long. Shorter absences and plenty of exercise before leaving work best.
They can, as they are clean and compact, provided they get daily exercise and training for the doorbell. Under-exercised dogs get noisy and restless.
