The original idea behind the Happening was to bring together as many Manchester Terriers and their owners from all over Europe as possible. The Happening is a friendly, relaxed get together of like-minded people during which everything is focussed on our unique dogs.

The Manchester Terrier Happening generally takes place each year in a different European country. The organisation is carried out on a volunteer basis by local breeders and owners. The committee coordinating the event organises the venues, accommodation arrangements, catering, judges, entertainment and anything else necessary. The Happening is financed by registration fees and through sponsoring.

The Happening is divided into various events:

Each event will be judged individually and at the end of the events, all results will be tallied. The overall winner across all disciplines will receive a wonderful hiking prize which will be donated by the British Manchester Terrier Club.
The overall winner is an “all-in-one Manchester Terrier”, most likely it’s the one who is lying at home on your sofa today!

Manchester Terrier fans in Switzerland have the honour of organising the 20^th Manchester Terrier Happening in 2011. We are very excited and hope to see many four legged participants and their two legged owners from all over Europe at “our” Happening here in Switzerland.
