Meet the breeder

Currently, I am the only advanced level AKC Breeder of Merit for the Standard Manchester. I'm a preservation breeder of the Manchester Terrier in Northern California. Our home-based breeding program encompasses health, temperament and breed quality. All of our litters are thoughtfully bred. I have studied pedigrees, completed extensive health testing on all my breeding animals, and actively show in conformation to ensure my stock improves the breed.
