Norfolk Terrier

Appearance: Little (under 10 inches), cute but sturdy terrier. Coat hard, wiry, straight. Distinguished from close cousin Norwich Terrier by neatly folded-over ears (Norwich ears are erect).

Traits & Characteristics: Loyal, will curl in lap, but genuine terrier: feisty, confident, game for adventure. Bred to work packs, more gregarious than typical terriers, but plenty of pep. Fearlessly hunt rodents if given chance. Bond closely (sometimes jealously) with owners. Nice watchdogs. Good traveler: portable, adaptable, up for anything.

Origins: Norfolk county, England.
