Essential Details To Understand About The Norfolk Terrier

The Norfolk Terrier, also called the Norwich
Terrier as at one stage they were the same
breed, is a member of the terrier dog group.
They have short ears and a wiry coat that comes
in several colors. The breed first appeared
during the early 1900s. They were first raised
for hunting rats. In the modern day they are a
popular choice as a companion for families or
allergy sufferers. They can be recognized by
their bold manner and love of children. The
breed is known to originate from England and are
a descendant of English and Irish terrier breeds.


They're classed as a small sized dog. The
official male and female dimensions are 9-10
inches tall with a weight of 11-12 pounds. They
are famous for their bold, loyal and often
stubborn character. They are unsuitable as a
guard dog, as they are usually friendly with
strangers. In comparison with every other breed,
they're proven to be fairly intelligent, and rank
equal 56th when being trained to understand new
obedience instructions.

They are suitable as a family pet, seeing as
they are good with children. They do get along
peacefully with other animals like other dogs
and cats (but not smaller animals like mice or
birds). One simple task is taking care of their
coat. They require a small amount of brushing
through their coat every few days, and full
grooming every 6 to 8 weeks. They can easily be
suitable for apartment life, but like to have a
small (but doesn't always need one) backyard
that gives them room to run around.

They're primarily long-lived, as is the case
with a good number of small sized dog breeds,
with an expected life of 12-15 years. Their
primary health risk is heart problems, and they
can also be vulnerable to breathing problems and
epilepsy. They take pleasure in activities like
running around or playing fetch. To reduce the
risk of hyperactivity or other destructive
behavior, they need moderate walks each day as a
result of their high degree of energy.

You ought to be willing to give them plenty of
attention and spend time training if you bring
home the Norfolk Terrier. They're very suitable
for active owners, families or allergy
sufferers, but not an ideal choice for owners
with smaller animals. One of the characteristics
people love most regarding this breed is that it
is a characteristically friendly terrier that is
good towards kids and guests.
