Our focus is on creating pocket-sized dynamos that excel in dog sports or active homes but will be your best companion for those TV binging days. Snuggle up!

Q. & A. with Jerri
Why did you start breeding?
I have always had an interest in breeding and finally made the leap in 2021, breeding my first litter of Toy Manchester Terriers. I fell in love with the process and can't wait to do it again.
What makes your program special?
As an active sports competitor, I am raising puppies the way I would want a puppy raised. I ensure they have daily access to novel objects, surfaces and environments. Visitors and socialization are a huge part of our program as well as exploring new places, exposure to different environments as well as dedicated training time including potty training, litter box training, leash walking and crate training.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Go West Dogs reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Manchester Terriers.
Hip Dysplasia
Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.
Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI)
Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.
Eye Certification (CAER, registered with OFA)
Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.
Cardiac Evaluation (registered with OFA)
Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.
Patellar Luxation
Knee testing reduces the chance of passing down Patellar Luxation, which results in the kneecap becoming displaced or dislocated and can cause mild to severe joint pain.
Thyroid (Autoimmune Thyroiditis, registered with OFA), Legg-Calve-Perthes (OFA)
A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.
OFA/CHIC DNA Repository, Xanthinuria, Type 2a, von Willebrand Disease I (vWD I), Juvenile Dilated Cardiomyopathy
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
