Meet The Breeder

Michelle Barlak has been devoted to purebred dogs since childhood, showing her first Manchester Terriers at just 10 years old. With more than 30 years in the breed, she has built a reputation for producing Manchester Terriers that excel in both the show ring and as beloved companions. Under the Maximal Manchester Terriers name, her dogs have earned multiple AKC championships, grand championships, top conformation rankings, and performance titles—including MACH and Master Earthdog. Beyond the ribbons, Michelle is passionate about raising well-rounded, healthy, and confident puppies. Every Maximal puppy is carefully bred, lovingly raised, and thoroughly socialized to ensure success in family homes, performance sports, and therapy work. A leader in the breed community, Michelle serves on the board of the American Manchester Terrier Club and chairs its health, rescue, and breeder mentor committees. She has presented judges education seminars, mentored judges, and was honored with the AKC Outstanding Sportsmanship Award. Michelle lives in New Jersey with her husband, and a lively pack of Manchesters. Dedicated, experienced, and approachable, she takes pride in supporting her puppy families for life.

Pricing

Price ranges reflect the full total including any deposit.

Pricing Information

The total price listed includes a breeder deposit if applicable. DOGGIT will introduce the puppy buyer and the breeder to get to know each other. Growing a strong bond with a new puppy starts with a close relationship with the chosen breeder! The deposit is collected by the breeder directly once the breeder approves the puppy buyer. This means a puppy or future puppy from the breeder is reserved! Deposits are refundable if the breeder does not have a puppy for the puppy buyer, or has unreserved a puppy. The DOGG!T Matchmaker Service fees are also collected once a puppy is reserved. Matchmaker Service fees are transferable if the puppy buyer decides to go with another breeder. * We are committed to finding a puppy buyer the perfect breeder and puppy match. Once the puppy buyer and breeder confirm 'Gotcha Day' hand off, the remaining balance will be paid to the breeder directly or through DOGG!T payment services. Whichever the breeder prefers. * *See Terms and Conditions
