History
The Norwich Terrier originated in Norwich, the capital of Norfolk, in 1870. The breed was the result of crossing red terriers with black and tan or gray terriers. The Norwich Terrier is identical to the Norfolk, except that the Norwich carries his ears erect rather than along the head like the Norfolk. For many years, the two were simply considered separate varieties of the same breed. By 1914, the Norwich Terrier had almost disappeared, but the breed was reconstructed from a few remaining specimens crossed with perhaps the Staffordshire Bull Terrier, the Bull Terrier, and the Bedlington Terrier. The Norwich Terrier was recognized by The Kennel Club in 1932. This mascot of Cambridge University is less common than the Norfolk Terrier.
Description
This robust, exceptionally energetic dog is eager and bold and has a strong personality. He does not bark often. This breed is an excellent bolter and hunter of vermin, though the Norwich Terrier is also a good pet. Firm training is necessary.
Advice
