My mother has a manchester terrier (Toy), female. People that had her up the street, moved, and left her waiting for them on the front porch. Mom got her, been her great little pet ever since. Good walking dog, walks many many MANY miles with her. I'm a pug person, but I still really like that little dog. Very nice disposition. She can jump straight up in the air 4 feet easy LOL. Bounce Bounce Bounce.

I am I loose Whiskey on monday due to a genetic almost neurotic aggression. She will be very welcomed and needed by the time she gets here.
I am so happy to hear she is a quite snuggler indoors and a wild child who just wants to have fun outside.

Pugdawg1 · 08-07-2004, 11:02 PM

They are spunky and fun. You'll love her.

Great looking pup.

I know a bit about Manchester terriers, but the temperament varies between the Standard and Toys. The Standards are generally more patient, quieter, and have somewhat less of the "terrier" antics than the toys do. The toys are the typical terriers, they don't like listening to you, and they have a high prey drive, but they're VERY smart and with the proper approach can be very responsive to commands.

sambucca/whiskey · 08-08-2004, 08:47 AM

She is living with the lady that runs the rescue, she is a calm cuddler indoors fully house trained, some obedienceand a wild child outside.

LOL. tell that to mom's little toy manchester. She fits very well into the Standards temperaments as you describe them. Very patient & quiet. Very good mellow dog. Don't think I mentioned it, but shes around 2 years of age. She's a happy pooch if she gets her long walks and her cuddle time.

Glad to hear your moms is so well behaved. She is going to be here in 2 weeks as I decided to have her shipped directley here rather than wait for someone coming this way and a 3 day drive.

Rip's Girl · 08-08-2004, 02:32 PM

You can do that -- ship them directly to you? I've always looked at out-of-region shelters and rescues and they always require that you live nearby or come and pick the dog up.

sambucca/whiskey · 08-08-2004, 04:26 PM

it depends on the rescue, I know there were a few I looked at I couldn't even adopt from because I wasn't in their region
