Lengthy - but information we feel is of utmost importance as you search for your Standard/Toy Manchester Terrier so please take the time it will take to thoroughly read the information on this page in its entirety - you will be very glad you did.... ALWAYS...ALWAYS make SURE you obtain/receive the AKC Registration form for your puppy/dog no matter where or from whom you get your dog! Never let a breeder withhold AKC paperwork! They may require proof of spaying/neutering your puppy, however, they should still provide you with a 'limited registration' form which the breeder can later change to "full" upon your providing proof of spaying/neutering. You are getting a purebred dog and those papers go with the dog regardless of whether the breeder claims the dog is pet or show quality! In other words..if you don't get the papers, don't take the dog! An ethical and reputable breeder will always provide you with your new companion's AKC registration form, immunization record, a 3 (or more) generation pedigree, a health guarantee, health testing documentation of the sire and dam, breed information and nutrition requirements just to name a few things. I am a firm believer in the AKC breed standard of perfection, and my goal is to maintain the selective breeding of 'Quality' Manchester Terriers - thus - producing correct type, size, sound, healthy, quality Standard Manchester Terriers that fall well within the breed's AKC Standard of Perfection ~ Quality comes first. I only bred one, perhaps two, litters a year in my home. This ensures that I am able to devote myself to providing the many hours needed for proper care and socialization of my puppies so that I, in turn, am able to provide you with a happy, healthy, well socialized, family oriented, quality puppy that will easily make the transition from my home to yours. My puppies and adults are ALWAYS in my home to accustom them to the sounds of every day living, commotion and people. They are also a very huge part of my family and loved as such. I have only the best interest of this beautiful breed at heart. Manchesters thrive on love and attention from their 'people' and my dogs receive that and more here at WhirlWynd. They should never be raised in or spend a majority of their life living in a kennel run 24 hours a day, 7 days a week - they are not a breed that should be kept outside all the time whether in a climate controlled kennel building or not. Manchester Terriers are loving family oriented dogs and should live in the house so they can constantly shower you with lots of cuddling and affection and companionship. As quoted by Dr. Ian Dunbar, noted canine behaviorist/trainer and author of Before & After Getting Your Puppy: "Avoid puppies who have been raised in an outdoor run or kennel. Remember, you want a puppy to share your home, so look for a puppy who has been raised in a home. Basement and kennel raised puppies are certainly not pet-quality dogs. They are "livestock" on par with veal calves and factory hens. They are generally neither house-trained nor socialized, and they do not make good companions. Look for litters that have been born and raised in a kitchen or living room." |
