Saint Lazar

Saint Lazar has been raising toy Manchester terriers in Eatonton, Georgia, in the Piedmont region east of Macon, since the breed entered the Walker family in 1940. Co-founded by Charles and the late Wanda Walker, the kennel is rooted in a multigenerational commitment to the breed, with son Martin Walker and granddaughter Krista Rogers Ferguson now carrying the program forward on the family's 22-acre kennel property in Newborn, Georgia.

The program's defining principle is planned line breeding, built on the documented methods of Lloyd C. Brackett. Saint Lazar applies this approach to every pairing rather than breeding dogs without a structured plan, and the kennel keeps written breeding plans extending several generations ahead. Show quality pups placed with other breeders are offered only to those who commit to continuing that same line-breeding framework.

The show record reflects decades of consistent competition in AKC conformation. Saint Lazar has produced more than 200 AKC champions over roughly 40 years, including dogs that earned American Manchester Terrier Club honors such as Stud Dog of the Year, Brood Bitch of the Year, and Hall of Fame inductions. The kennel has placed toy Manchester terrier puppies and show dogs with owners and co-breeders in countries including France, Switzerland, the Czech Republic, Finland, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Hong Kong, and Japan. Families searching for a toy Manchester terrier breeder in Georgia with a documented show record will find Saint Lazar among the longer-established names in the breed.
