craigyboy 1,274 Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 (edited) its a blast from the past mate,my grandad had 1 when i was a kid,it was a right tough little fecker,it was a awesome worker rats rabbit,did charlie for fun and lived to a ripe old age of 11,sadly tho i think theyve gone the same way as a lot of other working terrier breeds,either ruined by the crufts lot or sadly no longer exist,i hope you find some working strain out there cos if my grandads dog was owt go by they were very handy dogs Edited May 8, 2009 by craigyboy Quote Link to post
Mars 42 Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 as the title suggests, has anyone got any dogs with manchester terrier in them??? Have you seen one then ? If not what do you think a cross to a manchester terrier would bring to a lurcher,? From what i understand, the breed is virtualy extinct & has`nt been used for work for a long time... Mars..
