@Hey there! Being a Manchester breeder and dog lover I will have to say she may resemble a manchester but looks more along the lines of shepard, maybe even a Burnese Mountain Dog. I will say however she does not have thumbprints. Thumbprints are on the carpals of the forelimbs AND incredibly important for a manchester to have! I know some people who paint them on for the conformation ring. This picture is obviously a puppy and looks at least 15lbs which WAY too big for a manchester pup. The white spot on the chest is something that’s a dead give-away for a shepard/herding dog. She could even be part dobe. She’s very cute. I hope you have a life-time of enjoyment with her. There is a test kit for DNA swabs that take cheek specimens and test breeds. It’s quick and painless…
Happy tails!

@BL – that is a manchster for sure! In fact, the ears look like a standard type. There is nothing to compare the size with in the pic but if she is over 12lbs then it’s a standard manchester for sure. If she is under 12lbs then she is a toy with a standard cross in her pedigree. She is very cute a reminds me of a typical style of manchster from an infamous kennel which shall remain nameless… it’s a shame they won’t take responsibility for their breedings.

I bought a toy min pin from a breeder and its funny because they left her ears natural and they stand on end constantly so that they look like manchester terriers. I was wondering if it would be wise to breed a toy manchester with my toy min pin, any suggestions email me at Akinsey08@aol.com. Thanks

Two years ago we got what we thought was a Min Pin puppy. We recently came across pictures of Manchesters and were surprised at how similar our “Min Pin” was to the Manchester standard. Picture http://www.flickr.com/photos/cactusatwatercooler/406832326/

In your opinion, does he appear to be a Min Pin, Manchester, cross or something else? More pictures available if needed, and thank you for your time.

We just rescued a puppy from the pound a few weeks ago. I was thinking miniature pinscher, but my grandad – who knows alot about dogs, thinks manchester terrier.
