An English Toy Terrier (Black and Tan) is a small
breed of
terrier in
the toy dog
group. While the name is sometimes used synonymously with that of the
Toy Manchester Terrier, these are actually separate breeds.
Appearance
The breed standards for the English Toy Terrier and the Toy Manchester
Terrier (which was developed in the United States) are very similar, but there
are subtle differences. One evident one is that the English Toy Terrier must
exhibit ‘candle flame’ ears. Further, the breed standard of the English Toy
Terrier is often interpreted to describe a lighter, finer dog than the type
acceptable under the Toy Manchester Terrier breed standard.
History
Facing Extinction
Because the English Toy Terrier is facing extinction, the
Kennel Club (UK) has opened its Stud Book to allow Toy Manchester Terriers
which fit the breed standard of the English Toy Terrier to be transferred to
English Toy Terrier breed clubs. Many owners in Great Britain are against this
decision; others see it as the only way to preserve the breed.
