I'm Judi F., the breeder behind Manchesters of Merit located in Canton, MI. I am a preservation breeder as well as a vet. I am careful about selecting homes for my puppies and take great care of my dogs! I health test my breeding dogs to make sure I am producing healthy pups. I breed for temperament, health, function, and longevity.
