They're Manchester Terriers. We lost our 13 year old Min Pin to cancer Oct. 8th, 2015. I started looking at dog pictures online and read a bunch of stuff that made me think that our very sweet Min Pin was a fluke, because many people seemed to find Min Pins were temperamental. Ours was calm and very loving, with a lot of personality and we all loved him. I think most Min Pin owners seem to love their dog a lot.

Anyway I found out about Manchester Terriers, and thought that if it's hard to find a Min Pin with good temperament, maybe a Manchester would be a better bet. I read that Manchesters love their people, and are very smart and long lived. Manchesters are fairly rare though. I got acquainted with a Manchester breeder online and she connected me with someone who needed to find a home for their male, who was 2. So we were given this beautiful sweet dog a year ago. I was very anxious about it but we bonded. Then the same breeder found a female for us who was 1 1/2. She came from a show dog background but was just a dog among a whole lot of dogs and never even knew her name. She is also very sweet and cuddly. The dogs mated shortly after we got the female and our puppy was born Oct. 8th, the anniversary of our Min Pin's death. His name is Tchoupitoulas. We call him Tchoup. (pronounced chop).

I thought we might breed Manchesters since they're rare and great dogs but we had our female spayed for several reasons.

If you want to see some pretty Manchester pictures I like the site for Rustic Lane Manchester Terriers. I am not affiliated with them. I just like the pics, especially the action pics. They are beautiful runners. They look a little exotic to me, I think it's their eyes and planes of their faces. They sometimes tear around the house bouncing off furniture chasing each other. Our cat holds her own.

Didn't mean to hijack the thread. I'd get the kitties, but you have to weigh the pros and cons .

Blue...that might make sense LOL But actually I have a better idea...he's golfing for two days with his buds and they all tend to have a VERY good time on the course...I think I'll take him shopping after the round tomorrow afternoon while he's still happy LMAO Ok not really. I'm almost ready to wrap my mind around the red working if I can do the wall in a deep brown. I'm going to talk to the artist today and get him to work on that...and then worst case...they don't work...we can put them in the rental and buy tobacco brown sofa's (as I'd originally planned in that room so many years ago). It's kind of a safari/deco theme (gad does that sound scary as heck or what?) No wonder people look at me with funny faces when I talk design heh heh We have these huge (like five foot tall) pictures of lions and cheeta's framed that will hang in that room (I'm not into dead animals unless they're for dinner) so I'd always planned it to be a bit "old british library" in tone. But with an art deco sort of richness... Ok forget it...I'll post pics when it's done LOL cuz it sounds like it's been decorated on crack...and really I only do legal drugs :oP

Have to make a hood decision quick and I'm woefully uninformed...
Q
Comments (18)
You have the same model Berta I had. It's fairly modern and I think it's a whole different style from the Heritage hood you've shown. Must say, I agree with the salesman on that. But, it depends on how you want to style the kitchen. Once you speak to the contractor you'll know if you need anything special with the hood. I'd pay attention to duct diameter -- how big can you go for your run? Then check against the hood candidates since diameters vary with the brands. It looks like you're basically shopping for a 48" or 54" hood. With the griddle on the end (vs a center placement) extra capture might be a good idea. Here's a link to ABT's hood list . They're pretty reliable and have the major things. If you're looking for a chimney style hood, like the Berta pic you posted, it should be possible too see what a big range of manufacturers has in the size and style you need and compare prices to what you were quoted. Best by Broan also has a visualizer for their hood that may be useful. I know this takes so much time but it's the only way I've found to be sure about decisions. Perhaps others have different suggestions. Hope it won't be too exhausting and it can be jump-started from there.

I like the first one but...I personally would stay away from a fabric shade in the kitchen. I take my light shade down periodically and wash it, but it is pretty dusty here.

A dark rail is quite handsome especially with white risers. It is a stunning look. You are welcome to leave the banister as-is. I'm a fan of this look.

As much as we all love roses here; you can always get plants and roses throughout the year. A specific type of cat may not be available later. You may miss out on a cat with a great personality. That's not replaceable, a rose is.

I don't know about you guys. Those are scary looking cats, look at those big ears like lynx.....she is going out of breeding because no one wants to buy the scary cats, and you can't wear dark colored clothes, the cat hair will be everywhere, flying in the air under the sunlight, you have to clean a LOT living with the cat hair.......and they pee inside....... :-)

Cute kitties... not my favorite breed, but they are cute. Of course kittens are always cute! I dunno... tough choice. If you really like the breed, then I'd go for the kitties. But then, I'd probably get both... LOL

Summer.. I don't think Rex cats have that much fur. I mean not like ordinary cats. Not gonna have as much of a cat hair issue with them, I don't think....

If you google that breed cat, you'd see what they look like after a year. There is nothing balanced to their looks, the huge ears with a small head, extra big body with a long rat tail......and the extra skin.......that breed doesn't have guard hair, only the under fur, which is light and fine, if the cat hair gets in your eyes, you can't see, crying might help........ sorry I have to be truthful since I have so many Lynnette's babies growing in my garden. Roses are always beautiful, no vet bills, no pee, poo inside house....... :-)

Cats are high maintenance? My cat goes to the bathroom outside all the time, though I have known some cats that do otherwise. Dogs, on the other hand, sometimes resist being trained. I have chosen between my dogs and a cleaner house with better fragrance. The dogs won. Here they are, mom, dad and baby:

I have a manchester terrier x chihuahua mix. That's why I asked. Mine is a smart little thing. Very loyal & protective. Fast as anything. Her name is Pearl (the merle).

Couldn't resist adding a pic!

Sorry off topic!

I do want to grow the rose little grey pearl for her. Now back on the topic of roses!
