Manchester terrier?

[R.A.W 1,987]

while reading a thread on here i noticed someone suggested using a manc terrier as a working dog. i was supprised to say the least not because i don't believe they are not capable of work. i've only ever seen one in my life time and that was in london. plus did some research a few years back and founds them to cost a fair bit too.

 

what are your guy thoughts on them?

 

does anyone work them?

Ive seen two in my life one was owned by my dad used to kill rats and squrriels for fun and could mark and bush for rabbits.Nothing special really and there are much better dogs out there but i have a soft spot for these little juks. The other one belongs to a mate of mine and looks more like a pinscher than any sort of terrier. Just my limited experiance with this breed. Atb
