Celebrate the Art of showing Manchester Terriers.

The most popular form of canine competition in this country is the dog show – the contest for Kennel Club registered pure-bred dogs, such as those seen at Crufts.

The Kennel Club sets a Breed Standard for every breed of dog it recognises, which represents the ideal conformation and characteristics for that breed. At shows, the Judge must compare each dog with the Breed Standard to find the dog nearest to that ideal picture of the breed.

You can find out more about showing on the Kennel Club website
