Nicknamed “The Gentleman’s Terrier” in Victorian times for its sleek, smooth appearance, the Manchester Terrier is a compact and muscular dog that was originally bred as a ratter. They have a slightly arched back and glossy coat, with an effortless gait and an alert expression. They come in two sizes, the Standard Manchester Terrier and the Toy Manchester Terrier.
