Norwich TerrierThe Norwich Terrier has been around for over 100 years. The ancestors of this little dog may have included the Border Terrier and its ancestors, the Cairn Terrier and a red terrier from Ireland.

During the late 1800’s they were popular with the students at Cambridge University, so much so that they became their mascot.

The Norwich Terrier was first recognised in the UK in 1932. Some of these dogs had erect pointed ears and others had ears that dropped down close to the head.

In 1965 the drop eared terrier was renamed the Norfolk Terrier.

The Norwich Terrier will learn quickly what is expected of it, but the training must be consistent as this terrier has a will of its own.
