My first Toy Manchester Terrier , Indy, came into my life in October, 2002 from Zandi Spicer’s Spiceisle Manchesters. I started showing Indy in conformation while I was actively competing in obedience and agility with my Dobermans. Indy used to watch me train the Dobes and pretty soon she knew the routines! So I started training her. We went to shows and she started qualifying. I realized how versatile these great little dogs are and I was hooked. I finished Indy's Championship owner handled. I received lots of tips from fellow competitors that I am very grateful for.
Indy had some very nice wins. She went BOV from the classes 5 times. She took points under Dr. Harry Smith (major), Mr. Richard Bauer (major), Mrs. Rosalie Anderson, Barbara Alderman, Mrs. Judy Doniere, Mr. William Dolan, Dr. Roger Pritchard, and Mr. Joe Walton. She finished with 16 points. She is now CH. Spiceisle A Time For Me, CD, NA, AXJ, RN, TT, CGC. Indy is now living a wonderful life with her new owners and is continuing her education in obedience and agility.

While I was showing Indy I knew I wanted another Manchester. You really can't own just one! Zandi had a wonderful litter coming from her BISS CH. Spiceisle Sweet Song of Angels (Kailee)and MBIS Can/AM CH. Burmacks Gaenjas Crusader at Fwaggle (Indy). I got my male, "Scout" in Feb. 2005. Scout is a natural born showman and went BOV at his first show. He got a Group One at a Puppy Match put on by the Richmond Dog Fanciers. He repeatedly went BOV at 7 of the 11 shows it took him to finish. He earned points at every show we went to and received many favorable comments from the judges. The judges that gave him points are Elaine Young - BOV (major), William Usherwood - BOV, David Del Rio, Carol Williams - BOV, Joe Walton - BOV, Gloria Knapp (major), and Michael Canalizo - BOV. He finished his championship with 18 points.He is now Ch. Spiceisle Crusader Song of Trinity, RA, MX, MXJ, NF, CGC. Scout is training and competing in Agility (seriously working on a MACH), Rally  and Obedience. He has sired one Champion and another only needs her major to finish. He has earned the coveted HOF (Hall of Fame) designation from the American Manchester Terrier Club.
