Dogs in Canada magazine recently released 2008's final Top Obedience standings. This year only one Manchester Terrier (of either variety) competed in obedience in Canada, but he didn't let the lack of competition hold him back.
"Higgins" (Am/Can Ch & MOTCH Kreuzritters Professor Higgins, RN) ended the year as the #4 Obedience Terrier in Canada overall with an average score of 191.4 earned in the Open B and Utility classes. He earned qualifying scores at all 17 trials he was entered in, amassing a total of 84 points. Higgins is owned and trained by Ontario's Karen MacPhee and was bred by Tina Sandford. Congratulations to all involved!
Manchesters make excellent obedience dogs... once you figure out how to make them think it was all their idea to begin with. If you are interested in competing in traditional Obedience, Rally-O or any other dog sport, contact the Canadian Manchester Terrier Club for more information!
