I'm Linda S., the breeder behind Linda Sansom's Manchester Terriers located in Harrisburg, PA. We breed Standard Manchester Terriers to be members of your family and ours. Puppies are whelped in our bedroom and are raised in our home around adults and children. Our first goal in breeding is to produce dogs that are well-rounded, can easily cope with change, and have the ability to fit seamlessly into their future homes as loving family members. We look forward to connecting with you!
Q. & A. with Linda
Why did you start breeding?
I have been breeding quality puppies since the '80s! My love for Manchester Terriers inspired me to share this breed with the world in a responsible way. My breeding program strives to maintain and improve the unique characteristics of the breed while placing an emphasis on producing puppies of superior health, temperament, and conformation.
What makes your program special?
I have a passion for excellence and exceptional family pets. I ensure my breeding stock is fully healthy and have excellent pedigrees prior to producing puppies. Once pups are born, by creating an environment of health and harmony, I believe I am able to give each little pup the very best chance to reach its potential, express its best character, and bring forth its greatest gifts in the relationship with itself and to its family!
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
