It has a narrow, wedge-shaped head, bright alert eyes, and naturally upright or folded ears depending on variety. Its compact, muscular body gives it a quick, elegant appearance.

Manchester Terriers are typically lively, intelligent, and observant. They often form close bonds with their families and can be affectionate while retaining a confident, independent streak. Their terrier heritage is reflected in their curiosity, boldness, and strong interest in movement, making them spirited companions with an attentive, expressive nature.
