Effie" is a living embodiment of Manchester Terrier "Type" possessing the strength and elegance, power and beauty required for the breed. Weighing 10lbs and blessed with impeccable structure and a lovely head and expression, Effie turns human heads wherever she goes. We are very greatful to her breeders Dr. Phillip Carracher, Gary Beeler, and Jerri Hobbes to have this wonderful girl!
Shown on a limited basis in 2009, Effie easily completed her AKC Championship winning BOV and BOS multiple times out of the classes over ranked specials including the #1 Toy Manchester in the United States. Look for Effie with Carolyn in the ring in 2010.
Since coming to live with us, Effie has developed keen hunting skills and spends a good bit of her time every day working the squirrels and occasional citrus rat on our three-acre property. As much as she likes to snuggle up on the sofa, this girl is perfectly content to spend hours outside, rain or shine, very much a terrier.
If a picture paints a thousand words, we could have the entire Encycolpaedia Brittannica from all the great photos we have of this young male. Gunner is both sweet an tough, a squish and a terrier to the bone. Add to that exquisite conformation and movement and you have a young dog who is the whole package.
Gunner will be making his debut in the show ring during the "Florida Circuit" in January 2010. We look forward to showing him in the Bred-by Exhibitor class. He has a natural presence much like his father, Pilot, aka Rosewood Kamikaze Pilot.

Percy, aka CH Caro's Pretty Percy, ROM
Born September 18, 1998, Percy is the sum of all that's right and wonderful in dogs. When she came home with us as a 6 week old puppy, she stole our hearts. Percy is the reason we fell in love with the Manchester Terrier, and she still brings us so much joy as a senior ambassador for the breed. Blessed with a phenomenal temperament blend of friendly house-dog and prey driven terrier, Percy charms every one she meets. She is a delight, a character, and just an extradordinarily intelligent and fun loving dog.
Percy began her career as a show dog later than some, but she was showed like a pro right out of the gate. Easily completing her AKC Championship, Percy semi-retired from the show-ring to become the foundation bitch for our line; although, in 2005 and 2006 she earned several "Best Brace in Show" awards showing with her son, Casey, as well as BOS at the AMTC District 7 Specialty in Pasadena, California, over younger specials out of the Veterans class. In 2008, she was BOS in Veteran's Sweepstakes at the AMTC National Specialty in Hampton Road, Virgina, at age 10, and in 2009, she was BOS over at the AMTC District 2 Supported Entry over five bitch specials half her age including the #1 Toy Manchester in the US.
"Maggie" is named for our favorite Grateful Dead song, "Sugar Magnolia." Don't be fooled, however. A true terrier, Maggie is more diva than hippy chick. She caught our eye as a very young puppy, and has held it ever since. Maggie's solid, compact body, smooth movement, and lovely ring presence and expression have caught the eye of others, as well.
Maggie finished her AKC Championship in only three weekends, and went on to be BOS (Toy Variety) at the 2005 AMTC National Specialty in Pocono Manor, Pennsylvania, at 10 months of age. Maggie has been invited to the AKC/Eukanuba National Championship several times, she has shown at Westminster twice, and she currently finished 2009 #11 in All-Breed points for Toy Manchesters having only been shown a few weekends. Semi-retired, Maggie has has produced two litters with major-pointed and pointed get being shown currently.
Daisy, aka CH Rustic Lane Dixie Daisy
Daisy was the only girl out of our first litter born in Florida, but what a girl she turned out to be! Her classical elegance, beautiful expression, and spot-on movement make her hard to miss even in a crowd.
At 6 months old, her first time in the ring, Daisy won a 4 point major beating a top-ranked special along with the other class animals. Shown only twice prior to the 2008 AMTC National Specialty, Daisy walked in and was BOS (Toy) in Sweepstakes, Winners Bitch at the National Speicalty and Winners Bitch at the District 2 Specialty held the same weekend. Daisy faced one of the largest entries in the history of the breed beating 29 other class bitches.
Daisy is now a mother, as well, having whelped an exceptional litter of six - three of whom are being shown in Conformation in the US and Canada. Additionally, another one of her sons has already earned his AKC CGC title and will compete in Obedience and Agility along with another brother, as well.
