Norfolk Terrier

Norfolk Terriers may be small in size, standing no taller than 10 inches and weighing around 12 pounds, but they are full of personality. These little dogs are playful, vigilant, and brave, embodying the classic terrier spirit. Their wiry, rough coat is hard and straight, making them sturdy and ready for adventure. Despite their toyish appearance, Norfolks are true terriers, feisty and confident, often eager to hunt rodents if given the chance. Their folded ears set them apart from their close relatives, the Norwich Terriers, which have erect, pointed ears. Norfolk Terriers are known for their strong bond with their families, often displaying affection and a protective nature. They are excellent watchdogs and adapt well to various environments, making them great travelers. With their high activity level, love for play, and need for mental stimulation, Norfolks thrive in active households. Friendly with children and strangers alike, they are social and gregarious, enjoying the company of both people and other dogs. Their loyal and adventurous nature makes them a delightful companion for anyone looking for a spirited and loving pet.
