2017 in Review

In 2017, we celebrated the 30th anniversary of our very first litter.  We will be forever grateful for the support of our wonderful family, friends and the many friends this hobby have brought into our lives. 

Happily, we had the pleasure of showing some wonderful young dogs this year, several of whom show promise for the future. We also had two litters thanks to the generous help of our friends Shari Robinson and Lynne Brushette, who graciously stepped in to whelp and raise puppies when we were unable to...a mark of true friendship if you stop and think about how much 6 week old TMT puppies poop every day.  ;) 

A highlight of the year for us was a fantastic trip to Montreal in November with wonderful friends and some great results as well. Amanda also had a great trip to Orlando, Florida for the American Manchester Terrier Club national specialty and the prestigious Royal Canin show. Altogether, dogs we bred, co-bred or own were awarded 3 of 5 Best of Winners awards for the week; 4 Reserve Winners awards; Best in Sweeps, Winners Bitch, Reserve Winners Bitch and Best of Winners at the National; and two Reserve wins for our 8 and 9 month old Boston and TMT puppies at the Royal Canin show.  It was exhausting but a great reminder of the wonderful people we have the pleasure of working with--and that really was the story and theme of our entire year. 

Looking ahead, we hope that 2018 brings everyone in TMTs the greatest success and happiness. Be sure to treasure the special moments you have with one another as the memories will last much longer than any ribbon or prize.

Hugs,
​Wendy & Amanda

Jack has proven that a cute face and an adorable personality can take you everywhere in the dog world. We were thrilled to see him sweep the Best Puppy in Show awards at the United Kennel Club show in Montreal in November.  A month later, at just 9 months old he travelled to Florida for the US National and Royal Canin show where he was awarded a 5-point major and two Reserve Winners Male placements as well as Best Bred-By in Variety at the National itself. He has brought an incredible amount of joy to us this year, not least of all in his duty as chief cuddler.

Forever loved by: Leslie Lane

Brita was loved and adored by everyone who ever met her. In addition to being a beautiful Toy Manchester and an accomplished show dog, she had a sweet and loving soul.

During her show career, Brita's accomplishments included:
  • #1 TMT and #4 Toy Dog in Canada for 2007
  • #1 TMT, #10 Toy Dog in Canada for 2008
  • 2008 Canadian National Best of Variety and Best of Breed
  • 5x All-Breed Best In Show Winner
  • 129 Group placements, including 54 Group 1sts


Though shown on both Canadian coasts, Brita was awarded the majority of her wins on the tough British Columbia show scene with her co-owner and handler, Joy Henderson. Upon retirement, we were lucky enough to find Leslie Lane who provided Brita with the wonderful retirement she deserved.  We are forever grateful for the opportunity to have owned and loved such an amazing dog as well as for the experiences we were able to share with everyone who had a hand in her career, including Joy Henderson and Vaughn Franske, Jim Burrows and Pat Mackesey, Leslie Lane, Shari Robinson and Scott and Annamieke Price.

Rest well, beautiful lady.

Proud Grandma's

We were very proud to see  that 11 Toy Manchesters placing among the Top 10 TMTs in Canada or the U.S. had a Fwaggle parent.  As always, we recognize that their accomplishments belong to their breeders and owners alone and we offer all of them sincerest congratulations, but as we will likely be doing less breeding moving forward we can't help being proud Grandma's...
