2009 was our 25th year showing Toy Manchesters and, though we ourselves took most of the year off, we are very happy that several of the dogs we bred or own continued to excel in so many different areas.  With eight dogs earning new titles in conformation, agility, flyball, tracking and even a Canine Good Neighbour certificate, we are proud of the versatility of our breed and the dedication of our owners, co-owners and friends. 

With the conclusion of our 25th year comes some reflection and pride in what a small breeding program can accomplish  Looking back, here are a few TMT accomplishments we are proud of:

  • More than 50 Canadian and American Champions plus 8 TMTs with Performance Titles in Obedience, Flyball, Agility or Rally

  • 2 Canadian and 5 U.S. National Specialty Best of Breeds

  • 31 Best in Shows on 8 different dogs in Canada and the U.S.

  • 21 Best Puppy in Shows on 13 different dogs in Canada

  • Over 500 Canadian Group placements, including more than 225 Group Firsts

Our love for this breed is about more than wins or statistics, however.  We are the most proud of those of our dogs and puppies who have provided their owners with joy as wonderful pets.  We hope that 25 years from now we might be remembered (if at all) for our commitment to improving the breed through our work on health studies and education as well as our helping to establish and support a strong Canadian breed club.

In 2010, we are looking forward to another very quiet show season as we continue to focus our energy on breed-related projects while enjoying our dogs and our busy family-life.  We wish all TMT breeders and owners great success both in and out of the ring.  Here's hoping that 2010 proves to be as successful a year for our entire breed as 2009 was.
