Long before it became famous for the football team in Manchester, it was a center for England’s booming textile trade. The local mill workers of the mid-1800s had two favorite sports: hunting rabbits with a small hive, and a rebellious tendency to kill rats (loosening a terrier in a rat pit and betting on the consequences). Breeders worked towards a two-in-one dog to excel in both. He crossed a popular ratter called Black and Tan Terrier with Whippets; The result was a different Manchester type of terrier.
By 1959, Standard Manchester and Toy Manchester were registered as separate breeds, although interbreeding was permitted. Since then, the two breeds have combined a single breed, the Manchester Terrier, with two varieties: The Toy and Standard. However, AKC has kept the two varieties separately.

Manchester is a very easily maintained, “wash and wear” kind of dog. An occasional bath with shampoo formulated for dogs is all that is needed to make her look quite dull. Wiping it down weekly with a damp towel or hound glove will give the coat a healthy glow. Nail trimming should be done every two weeks to maintain proper alignment of your joints. The ears should be cleaned regularly to keep them free of excess wax or debris that may cause a painful ear infection.

Manchester Terrier should perform well on high quality dog food, whether it is commercially manufactured or prepared with the supervision and approval of your vet. Any diet should be appropriate for the age of the dog (puppy, adult or senior). Some dogs are at risk of being overweight, so watch your dog’s calorie consumption and weight level. Treatment training can be an important aid, but giving too much can lead to obesity. Know which human foods are safe for dogs, and which are not. If you have any concerns about your dog’s weight or diet, check with your vet. Clean, fresh water must be available at all times.
Manchester terrier lovers around the world are currently banding together to develop a genetic test for juvenile cardiomyopathy, a fatal disease that can affect the breed (and many others).

Also, like some small dogs, Manchester can be affected by “”loose knees”” or patellar laxation.
