#ManchesterTerrier #Terrier #Manchester #Dog #Pets #CatsandDogs Manchester Terriers were originally created for the rat pits. In these pits, rats were released, and spectators bet on how many rats the dog (invariably some sort of terrier) could kill in a minute. The breed later developed a reputation as the "Gentleman's Terrier," and became a common fixture in the parlor rooms of the wealthy.
