Norfolk Terrier Puppies

The Norfolk Terrier is a small but spirited breed known for its lively personality and strong family bonds. Originating from the Eastern part of England, this charming dog was initially bred for hunting small game, making them both playful and tenacious. They have a wonderful temperament that suits various family settings, thriving in homes with young children and adapting well to the presence of other dogs. Their friendly nature extends even to cats, although they may be more playful than passive around them.

The Norfolk Terrier was developed in the year 1880 by British sportsmen. It was referred to as the Norwich Terrier until 1964 because both breeds had many similarities and were considered as the same. Norfolk Terriers are believed to have been made by crossing small red terriers with local terriers. Before the year 1936, Norfolk Terriers were given different names including; the Cantab Terrier, the Trumpington Terrier, and Jones Terriers. 

In 1964, the Kennel Club named the droopy-eared dog breed the Norfolk Terrier, leaving the name Norwich Terrier to the sharp-eared breed. Since then, both dog breeds have gain distinct temperaments and looks, making it easier to distinguish both. 

Norfolk terriers are fearless little dogs with an independent mind. In the terrier group of dogs, they are the most accommodating. They move in packs and easily socialize with other dogs. They make good pets as they enjoy being around humans. 

They are lively, active and playful. Norfolk Terriers are not very vocal dogs. Most of the time, they stay quiet and bark when there is a reason to be vocal. They are also natural hunters with low tolerance of vermin. Norfolk Terriers should be kept indoors.

The Norfolk Terrier loves human contact hence it should be kept indoors. Being around people makes them happy because they are lively dogs that thrive on attention and affection. Though they need some time outdoors to play and run around, living outdoors would be bad for them. 

They are small, quiet dogs that do not occupy much space in the house. They can also be tidy when trained properly. Keeping them indoors will not be inconvenient. 

Norfolk Terriers need at least one hour of exercise daily. During this one hour, it is necessary that they take long walks, run, play fetch or do farm work. They are intelligent dogs hence obedience exercise is also important to teach them to take instructions. Their independent nature and willful streak can make the training tough sometimes so daily training will be helpful. 

Though Norfolk Terriers have a natural unkempt shaggy look, grooming is necessary. Their coats should be brushed at least once a week. Their toenails require regular trimming and their ears should be cleaned weekly. 

Their teeth should also be brushed once a week with doggie toothpaste and a toothbrush. Bathing should be done once a month to avoid softening their exterior coat. Lastly, their coats should not be trimmed with a clipper but by stripping. This shortens and thins the coat perfectly.
