Look who!!

[ihatework]

Half way through a 28h round trip to collect this utterly gorgeous fella from Druid.

He has entertained the ferry queue passengers and is now safely installed in a kennel

 

[Clodagh]

Oh so handsome! Lucky you.

 

[Rumtytum]

Congratulations! A very handsome boy!

 

[DabDab]

Oo he's nice. Congrats

 

[AmyMay]

Oooo, he’s a little Poppit!

 

[misst]

Gorgeous!! Have I missed his name?

 

[Cinnamontoast]

Oh, gorgeous face!

 

[ihatework]

He’s called Loki.
Still on the ferry - bored now and dreading the 5 hours home in car

 

[Northern Hare]

He looks lovely, have a safe journey home!

 

[TheOldTrout]

What a gorgeous little dog!

 

[Smitty]

Lovely. I want one ...

 

[Moobli]

Gorgeous! He is going to be so much fun!

 

[ihatework]

I think it’s safe to say he is a happy, confident, bold puppy!

Went to the pub for lunch then met the gang at the stables - played for England then slept soundly in his crate while I rode

 

[ArklePig]

He is so cute! I look forward to hearing more about how he comes along.

 

[Smitty]

I think you need to share this puppy a bit more. I don't mean the toilet training or anything resembling work, just a few more photos ?

 

[ihatework]

Oh I can so oblige with that!

 

[ihatework]

Negotiating with the cat as to who gets the best sofa spot

 

[druid]

Love him! So glad he's gone to you, he's going to have a fab life of pub lunches and sofa....Manchester Terrier heaven!

Honestly, puppy culture is a revelation for bringing up completely outgoing happy little pups. I was quite unconvinced by it initally but this is litter three and they're all super confident.

His counterparts were at the train station and garden centre today, tomorrow is ring craft/socialising and a visit to the lake

 

[Smitty]

Brilliant photo ??

 

[palo1]

Ooh I love Manchester Terriers!! You hardly ever see them but fab, feisty things lol.

We doubled the number in Ireland temporarily by having this litter. That rare!

 

[ArklePig]

Wow that's amazingly rare @druid, I was just thinking reading this thread I'd never met one before. Now if I ever see one when I'm down south I'll be compelled to ask the owner if they're you ?

It'll be me or the Sire's owner who has two down in Limerick. There's one possibly two MT up North left as well but that's all.

 

[ArklePig]

I'm from Limerick even though I live in the North so am there quite a bit, so it'll probably be the sire!

 

[nellietinker]

I spent last weekend at the Autumn Show at Malvern sitting opposite a "pack" of Manchester terriers on their breed stand - they were such characters

 

[dogatemysalad]

Ooh, he's lovely. I have a soft spot for Manchester terriers, we used to have a lovely bitch that we got from breeders in Derbyshire a good few years ago.
Wishing Loki a very happy life.

 

[ihatework]

First day in the office ???

 

[Clodagh]

Terriers, he’ll be running the office soon!

 

[druid]

His brother has his first day at Ringcraft today....cared not a jot about the collies, shelties, boxer or poodle. Happy on the table. Delighted to give "judge" licks and be gone over.

His sister on the other hand had to go to time out for shouting at the big dogs to play with her No fear/agression, just wanted to play, bounce and run

I am glad there are a few more of them then! It always slightly saddens me that our fantastic, historic breeds of dog are increasingly vulnerable. MTs are absolutely delightful - smart, clever, athletic and loyal dogs; what is not to love?! I guess they may not be ideal as a first dog possibly.
