Norfolk Terriers are so cool so why don't you have a look at some facts about them!
#1. "The Norfolk Terrier is a strong, sturdy, short little dog."
#2. "The head is slightly rounded, wide with a good amount of space between the ears."
#3. "The small, oval shaped eyes are dark in color."
#4. "The ears are small, hanging tight to the cheeks."
#5. "The legs are straight and the feet are round with black toe nails."
#6. "The medium sized tail is set high level with the top line and is usually docked by half."
#7. "The wiry, straight coat is about one and a half to two inches long. Coat colors include red, wheaten, tan, black and tan, or grizzle with or without dark points and occasionally with white markings."
#8. "The Norfolk Terrier is among the smallest of the working terriers."
#9. "Active, courageous, affectionate, balanced and without any nervousness or quarrelsomeness."
#10. "They are easy to train, and need consistent rules to follow."
#11. "These little dogs love everyone and are good with children."
#12. "Because of their ratting instincts they tend to love anything you can toss so they can chase after it, such as toys, balls, sticks or bones."
#13. "If left outside for along period of time with nothing to do, without providing a long pack walk to drain their energy, they can become barkers and diggers."
#14. "This breed is generally good with other pets such as cats and dogs, but should not be trusted with small animals such as hamsters, pet rats, mice or guinea pigs."
#15. "They can be difficult to housebreak."
#16. "Height: 10 inches (25cm.)"
#17. "Weight: 10-12 pounds (4½-5½kg.)
These are the smallest of the Terriers."
#18. "Some lines are prone to back problems and genetic eye diseases, but are generally healthy."
#19. "Norfolks will do okay in an apartment if it is sufficiently exercised. They are fairly active indoors and will do okay without a yard."
#20. "These little dogs were bred to work. They are energetic and thrive on an active life, and need to be taken on a daily walk. They can jog for short distances. While out on the walk the dog must be made to heel beside or behind the person holding the lead, as in a dog's mind the leader leads the way, and that leader needs to be the human. Teach them to enter and exit all door and gateways after the human."
#21. "Life Expectancy: About 12-15 years
#22. "The shaggy, medium-length, waterproof coat is relatively easy, but daily combing and brushing is important. Little clipping is required. Take extra care when the dog is shedding. Bathe and dry shampoo only when necessary. This breed is a light shedder."
