Introduction

The Toy Manchester Terrier is a breed that can be traced back to Manchester, England. They can be as little as 3 pounds, and as much as 12 pounds in weight and are a feisty little bundle of fun.

Toy Manchester Terrier Dog Name Considerations

Though it’s not simple nor easy to gauge the personality of a new-born puppy, there are underlying personality traits that most Toy Manchester Terrier dogs seem to possess. They are a cunning, intelligent, and high-spirited breed who are always eager and willing to learn. As is seen with the Terrier breeds, the Toy Manchester Terriers are also alert, sporty, lively, faithful, and independent dogs while at the same time, devoted and discerning.

So, their names would have to match their big personalities in small bodies. They crave and demand attention, which also means that they don’t do well when they are left alone for extended periods of time. They are quite vocal breeds if they are left to themselves. Any sports that allow them to have a rally or require obedience and agility are ones that they will excel at. Toy Manchester Terriers are energetic dogs who do well when they are exercising. They can hunt small critters and vermin, as well as dig and bark. A name such as Digger would be great fit, as would Spark.

Though they may need a fair bit of training and attention, they don’t require much in terms of coat maintenance and grooming. They are very affectionate and kid-friendly dogs and have a high potential for being playful. Consider a moniker that draws attention to their personality, such as Bandit, or give them a title that draws attention to their gorgeous coat. Caraway would be a fun and fitting name.
