Appearance: The Norfolk Terrier features a distinct look characterized by little (under 10 inches), cute but sturdy terrier. coat hard, wiry, straight. distinguished from close cousin norwich terrier by neatly folded-over ears (norwich ears are erect). It's a style that says 'I'm ready for anything,' even if 'anything' just means a long nap.
Traits & Characteristics: These dogs are often described as loyal, will curl in lap, but genuine terrier: feisty, confident, game for adventure. bred to work packs, more gregarious than typical terriers, but plenty of pep. fearlessly hunt rodents if given chance. bond closely (sometimes jealously) with owners. nice watchdogs. good traveler: portable, adaptable, up for anything. They bring a mix of charm and personality to any home, along with enough spirit to keep things interesting.
Origins: Norfolk county, England.
