For Puppy Owners

If you are thinking about getting a puppy be expected to spend a lot of time/energy with them, not only in play, but learning how to have a behavioral healthy dog!  Download and review a collection of informative Manchester Terrier info for new owners. 

If you are reviewing or recently received a puppy to be part of your family, remember some key points which reflect my thoughts:

• Housebreaking using Positive Methods - Housebreaking Worksheet; Observe your dog before he eliminates—what behaviors do you see?
  
• Read Debi Davis' Nine Easy Behaviors to Teach Your New Puppy
  
• Training Tip - The Name Game:  When you call your dog's name, does he ignore you? We will change that by showing him that when he hears his name, something good follows.

As a breeder I try to match pups to owner needs;
Companion = temperament; Breeding/Showing = structure to standards; Performance = requirements of the sport
