Norwich Terrier

The Norwich Terrier is a small, spirited breed of dog originating in England.

Bred to hunt small game, they are known for their intelligence and loyalty.

They have a long history as a working dog, dating back to the late 19th century.

The breed was developed by crossing various terriers, including the Irish Terrier, the Yorkshire Terrier, and the Cairn Terrier.

The result was a small, sturdy dog with a wiry coat and a mischievous personality.

The Norwich Terrier was recognized by the English Kennel Club in 1932 and by the American Kennel Club in 1936.

Today, they are still used as working dogs, but are also popular as family pets.

They are known for their lively, affectionate nature and their willingness to please.

Norwich Terriers are active and energetic, and require regular exercise and mental stimulation.

They are loyal and devoted companions, and make excellent watchdogs.

With their cheerful disposition and friendly demeanor, Norwich Terriers make wonderful additions to any family.
