English Toy Terrier (Black & Tan)

This is the pocket-sized cousin of the Manchester Terrier, scaled down from the Victorian black and tan ratters that were wagered on in city rat pits. It took its present name in 1960 and is now a sleek, glossy companion that still has a terrier's alertness in a toy dog's frame. Registrations have topped 100 only three times since 2016 and stood at 52 in 2025, so its small breeding base makes careful, health-tested pairings especially important.
