Norwich Terrier population: 4,205 Our goal: 5,000 Feel free to help out with breeding them! About Norwich Terriers: Group: Terrier. Temperament: Alert, curious, loyal, affectionate, and gregarious. Height: 10 inches. Weight: 12 pounds. Life expectancy: 12-15 years. Breed Standard (colors): Black and tan, grizzle, red, and wheaten. Breed Standard (markings): none. Origin: United Kingdom. Coat: Double coat (hard wiry and soft under coat). History: The Norwich Terrier originated in East Anglia, England. These dogs were bred to hunt small rodents. With a friendly personality, Norwich Terriers are mostly a companion dog breed today. One dog named Rags who lived at a stable near Norwich became the founding sire for the Norwich Terrier. Extra: Norwich Terriers are plucky little earthdogs named for their hometown in England. The old cliche "a big dog in a small package" was coined for breeds like the Norwich, who can be oblivious to the fact that they are just 10 inches tall. Standing no more than 10 inches at the shoulder and weighing about 12 pounds, Norwich are among the smallest working terriers. Beneath the hard, wiry coat is a stocky, substantial dog. Norwiches are toy-sized but are not satin-pillow dogs' they were originally bred as tough and fearless ratters. They are distinguished from their doggy doppelganger, the Norfolk Terrier, by their erect, pointed ears. Happy-go-lucky, fearless, and sometimes even bossy, Norwiches are energetic enough to play fetch all day, but affectionate enough to enjoy hours of lap time with their favorite human. Short, positive training sessions work best with this clever but sometimes stubborn breed. Three words convey the overall dog: cute, cuter, and cutest. Source: American Kennel Club and Google
