  The Manchester Terrier is a lithe, agile, and powerful ratter and rabbiter. At one time the breed was hugely popular when rat baiting was fashionable, but now the breed is in decline due in part to the ban on ear cropping. Although the breed is short tempered, it makes a fine, lively, and robust companion.
