Norfolk Terrier
The Norfolk Terrier is a spirited and compact dog breed known for its lively and affectionate nature. Originating from England, these small terriers were initially bred for hunting vermin on farms. With a robust and slightly rounded body, they typically weigh between 11 to 12 pounds. Their coarse, weather-resistant coat can come in a variety of colors, including red, wheaten, black and tan, or grizzle.
A distinctive feature of the Norfolk Terrier is their folded, V-shaped ears that beautifully frame their expressive eyes, giving them an alert and intelligent look. Known for their fearless and energetic disposition, Norfolk Terriers are excellent companions for active individuals. They are highly social and thrive in households where they are a part of the family activities.
Despite their small size, they possess a big personality, often displaying courage and confidence beyond their stature. Norfolk Terriers are also quite adaptable, doing well in both urban and rural settings, as long as they receive proper exercise and mental stimulation. They are attentive and trainable, making them suitable for obedience and agility activities, although their independent nature may require patience during training. Loyal and loving, the Norfolk Terrier makes for a delightful addition to any home.
