Background:

The Norwich Terrier and the Norfolk Terrier were originally considered varieties of the same breed until recently.  The Norfolk has dropped ears and the Norwich has pricked years.  Bred  to go to ground after fox  and vermin, this is a hardy breed that could hold up to inclement weather well.  With the passage of time, due to its size and attractive temperament, this breed has passed bag and baggage into the ranks of the companion dog.  It makes an excellent apartment dog, eager to play with the family and to go for a romp in the park.

Personality:

An intelligent, alert, friendly dog, it makes an ideal companion and friend at home.  Fortunately for the breed, it is not quite widespread or too popular yet, so it does not suffer from some of the puppy mill problems faced by other breeds.
