NORFOLK TERRIER

History - Norfolks originated in England in the 19th century, where they were used to control the rat population and hunt foxes. They became popular as pets with students at Cambridge University.

Temperament - Norfolk terriers are great small dogs with large dog attitudes. They are high-spirited, assertive, energetic, and bark at the arrival of strangers.  Norfolks are very playful and love children if socialized with them at an early age and treated gently.  They learn quickly in obedience class as long as their exuberance is gently and patiently controlled. They get along with other animals, including cats, thought they may not be able to resist chasing them sometimes.

Upkeep - Norfolks need a quick brushing and combing once or twice a week and clipping twice a year. They need a lot of exercise. Long walks, runs, or hikes are ideal.

Size - height 9-12 inches, weight 11-12 pounds.
