These short-haired terriers are descended from Manchester Terriers, also one of the presumed ancestors of Dobermans, although it hails from farther west, the port of Liverpool.
As the name suggests, these dogs combine the qualities of a terrier and a toy, although the toy characteristics soon gained the upper hand in the breeding program. These dogs were once used to kill rats by the dozen, so they are alert and never overly nervous.

While English Toy Terriers may be confused with German Pinschers, they are actually said to be descended from Manchester Terriers and Italian Greyhounds, which give them their elegance.Throughout the 20th century breeders worked on the margins of official dog fancy, but they eventually managed to get the breed recognized by the Kennel Club in 1962.Well proportioned, elegant and compact, English Toy Terriers have a distinctive glossy coat and pure lines. They are most commonly used as companion and toy dogs, but at bottom they are terriers, particularly renowned as champion ratters.
