The Norfolk Terrier is a vibrant, compact breed known for its spirited and affectionate nature. Originating from East Anglia, England, they were initially bred for their tenacity in pest control and their keen instincts as ratters and fox hunters. Their wiry, weather-resistant coat and distinctive drop ears set them apart. Norfolks are highly intelligent and active dogs that thrive on human interaction and engagement. They form strong bonds with their owners and are excellent watchdogs due to their alertness and bravery. Their high energy levels and strong will require consistent training and positive reinforcement to keep them well-adjusted and happy.
