Shal-Mar's Louis Lamour-Ellis Isle ("Louie"), who won Best of Variety at the Westminster Kennel Club show in February, 2004. Louie ended 2003 being the #1 male Standard Manchester, #3 in breed points and #3 in group points, also having been chosen BOS at the 2003 AMTC National Specialty, BOS at the 2003 Eukanuba National Championship, 1st AOM at the 2004 AMTC National Specialty, and 1st AOM at the AMTC District 8 Specialty in April, 2004, in Sacramento, CA. Louie was invited to the Eukanuba National Championship in 2002, as he was in the top 25 Standard Manchesters that year, too!

Ch. Augustine's Spirit of Raven, known as "Phoenix," received an invitation to the Eukanuba National Championship in 2004 and 2005, and he was in the top 25 Standard Manchesters both of those years. Our first Bred-By-Exhibitor invitee for 2005 was Ch. Salutaire Spirit of the Game, known as "Simon," who is a Phoenix son. And, in 2006, both Simon and his half sister, Ch. Ellis Isle's Xanadu ("Xana"), a Phoenix daughter, both received invitations, having qualified by finishing their championships in the Bred-By-Exhibitor class. Xana's sister, Ch. Ellis Isle's Everyday Glory ("Sunni") finished her championship on November 24, 2006, out of the Bred-By class. Sunni got to go to the Eukanuba National Championship show on December 2, 2007, and received the 1st Award of Excellence out of an entry of 16! We are very proud of Sunni.

December 3, 2010: Today our first, very special Manchester Terrier girl, Ch. Black Gold Cheyenne Augustine, went home to the Ellis Isle Heavenly compound. She was 14 yrs. 4 mos. old. She will be greatly missed by our whole family. After being introduced to Manchesters by my uncle, Jim Wetton, we wanted to have one of their dogs. Unfortunately, Jim passed away before we got Cheyenne from my aunt, Jan. But I hope we made him proud with Cheyenne, who, while showing at our first AMTC National Specialty won Best Opposite Sex, with me being a very novice "owner-handler." Thank you Jan and Jim Wetton for this very special girl! We love you, Cheyenne, and will miss you!

Below are pictures of some our Manchesters past and present. The majority of these wonderful dogs now have owners and homes of their own, but are still thought of fondly by their human "Mom" and "Dad" here at Ellis Isle. (Click on the thumbnail photo to see a larger version of the photo.)
