Norfolk Terrier

Norfolk Terrier


Native country : Great Britain

History

This breed was developed in the county of Norfolk. It was originally considered a variety of the Norwich Terrier from which it is descended, since it differed only in the carriage of its ears. In 1932, The Kennel Club recognized the Norwich Terrier. The Norfolk Terrier was not recognized until 1964.

Description

This rustic, hardy, alert, bold dog is essentially calm, friendly, and gentle with children. He is an ardent hunter that forces prey from burrows, hunts vermin, and is capable of hunting in a pack. The Norfolk is also an excellent guard dog. Firm training is required.

Advice

The Norfolk can live in a city if he gets out often to burn off excess energy. Daily brushing is required. This breed should be professionally groomed two to four times per year.
