Quick Summary

The Toy Manchester Terrier is a small breed of dog developed in England. It originated from a cross between the whippet and the black-and-tan terrier, aiming to combine the speed of the whippet with the ratting ability of the terrier.1

This breed is characterized by its sleek, shorthaired coat, which is typically black with tan markings on the head, chest, and legs. The Toy variety stands about 6 to 7 inches (15 to 18 cm) tall and weighs 12 pounds (5 kg) or less. They have erect ears and a long, narrow head with small, bright eyes. The Toy Manchester Terrier is also known as a toy Manchester.12
