The Norfolk Terrier is a small, sturdy terrier with a friendly disposition and fearless heart. With drop ears that distinguish them from their Norwich Terrier cousins, they're cheerful, affectionate companions who love being part of family life. They're less yappy than some terriers and more easygoing.
Daily walks and play sessions keep them content. Their wiry coat needs regular brushing and occasional hand-stripping. Norfolk Terriers are adaptable and do well in various living situations. Training should be positive and consistent. For those seeking a small, sociable terrier with charm and spirit, the Norfolk Terrier is delightful.
