The English Toy Terrier is an FCI recognized British dog breed ( FCI Group 3, Section 4, Standard No. 13) .
He is a very small dog (up to 30 cm at 3.6 kg). The toy terrier is also a "real terrier" in nature. It has a long and eventful history behind it: As a victim of the British passion for betting, it had to fight rats in small arenas, then it became a ladies' dog, went out of fashion and found new lovers as a family dog . His hair is thick, short, close-fitting, shiny black and tan ; the black is ebony, the tan roughly auburn. Resembling a candle flame in shape, the ears are somewhat pointed, set high on the back of the skull.
When AKC or CKC registered Toy Manchester Terrier can be registered as English Toy Terrier the members of the FCI.
