Benefits

All activities sponsored by AMTC are accomplished by the time, effort and expertise donated by AMTC members.  The AMTC is a dues based club that relies on membership dues to pay the expenses incurred in accomplishing our mission, as well as in providing benefits to our members. We are a non-profit organization, so all of the dues are used to further the cause of the Manchester Terrier and the AMTC, and NOT for the financial benefit of one officer, member, or group of officers or members. Your money works for you and your dogs. 

Every year, the AMTC holds a National Specialty rotated by District. There are dinners, silent auctions, raffles full of Manchester Terrier items. The Regional Specialties too, have a wide variety of associated events for the MT lovers there, whether they're showing a dog or not.

By joining the AMTC you will benefit from

  • Yearly sponsored National Specialty Show (the national)
  • Invitation to Club Meetings and Committee Programs
  • Educational programs on a variety of subjects
  • Voting and Member Rights
  • Supporting AMTC sponsorship to AKC Licensed Specialty Show and Matches

The AMTC offers a subscription service to our newsletter (published Feb, May, Aug and Nov) to those who are interested in club activities but who cannot fulfill the membership requirements or who are not interested in active participation or the benefits of membership. Not only will you hear from Club members’ awards and accomplishments but more importantly, we hope to promote our breed, educate the public and enables you to hear the many great activities and joys of owning a Manchester Terrier.

Members provide support for each other, especially on a local basis. Members help new members (and experienced members too!) in many ways. For those who wish to show their dogs, there is almost always someone not too far away who will help them learn. Breeders help their puppy buyers with lifelong advice - but it isn't necessary to be a member to access this benefit! More than anything else, membership provides each of us with a network of people who all care about Manchester Terriers, and what is best for them as individual dogs as well as for the breed as a whole. <JOIN AMTC>
