Norfolk Terrier
Norfolk Terriers are one of the smallest but cutest terriers around today. They are short but sturdy, have a wiry, hard, weatherproof coat (handy!) that requires minimal grooming and upkeep. They have a little fox-like face and small drooping ears that hang tight to the face. They're lively and friendly little dogs that are also smart cookies with a mind of their own, which can make them a bit wilful at times. They will get on well with older children and are great pets for older, yet still active people. Norfolk Terriers are also very active, courageous, and affectionate family members, loving cuddles with their humans. Norfolk Terriers make great furry friends, are easy to train
The Norfolk Terrier is an undemanding dog to feed with no special dietary requirements. They can generally be relied upon to have a good appetite.
Although the hard adult coat doesn’t appear until the puppy becomes an adolescent (which means terrier puppies are soft and fluffy), you'd better develop some regular grooming habits at an early age, as without starting early, although the smallest terrier around, they have big personalities and can object quite strongly and convincingly to being restrained due to their natural independent streak.
The coat is relatively easy to keep in good condition, but a regular brushing will help, as well as hand plucking twice a year. A professional groomer or the breeder will be able to give you advice on how to best to keep your canine pal's coat in tip top shape.
