Norfolk Terrier and Norfolk Terrier pictures
The Norfolk Terrier is the smallest of the working Terriers. Prior
to 1960, when it gained recognition as an independent breed, it
was a variety of the Norwich Terrier, distinguished from the Norwich
by its A Norfolk's typical breed temperament is happy, self-confident
and spirited. Norfolks have the softest temperaments of the Terrier
Group. They are described as fearless, but should not be aggressive
despite being capable of defending themselves if need be. As companions
in the home they love people and children and make great family
pets. Norfolks are self confident, brave, affectionate and carry
themselves with presence and importance, holding their heads and
tails erect and high. A Norfolk that is shy, or carries its tail
between its legs is untypical as is a dog that is hot tempered and
aggressive with other dogs. The greatest punishment to a Norfolk
is his human companion ignoring him. They may also get jealous.
It has been known before. Their love for the family is unquestionable
though.
