Manchester Terriers are a versatile dog and Diamond Tornado, owned by Laurence and
over the years before ill health restricted it, we
had our dogs have a go at the events at fun
weekends and shows, such as games, racing
and agility. I do admit that now our dogs are not
so well trained to do these events now but do
behave quite well in the show ring and out in the
community.
Throughout our years, we have been able to
provide puppies, support and friendship to
many families in the world of Manchesters.
Although we don’t breed many puppies, we
both feel proud to have been able to do this and
ensure the continuing future for the breed. As
a vulnerable breed it is important to have good
younger families interested enough in the breed
to take over the protective role of the breed
for the future. It is very satisfying seeing other
people showing Talanors dogs successfully, as
well as the many dogs who don’t show but are
faithful pets, obedience or agility dogs etc.
Other dogs we have bred and owned have
become show champions, namely Ch Talanors
Taylor Made Treat, she won Top Puppy in
2011 and went on to become a champion. Ch
Talanors Typically Special, she won Best
Puppy in Show at the BMTC show and followed
it up the next year by winning Best In Show at
the same show.
Dogs owned by others include Ch Talanors
Secret Treat, who became a champion for Les
Symington and is now a veteran. Ch Talanors

In 2011 we had a male puppy from Mr & Mrs
Renshaw, born from parents Talanors Star
Trick and Talanors Smart Treat, Westbank
Blue Diamond for Talanors. This puppy, Travis
became our most successful show dog to date.
He had the most loving temperament and was
so charismatic, he was well known ‘to never
stop wagging his tail’. Travis won 13 CC’s and
many Res CC’s, he became a show champion
and won Terrier group 3 on the same day at
Paignton Championship show in 2014. He also
won a Best of Breed at Crufts in 2015

ear set, his happy temperament and charisma.

muscle. He has sired 12 UK show champions to
date, those offspring gaining him success in the
