The Norfolk Terrier is one of the smallest terriers around today. They have a wiry, hard, straight, weatherproof coat that requires minimal grooming and upkeep, for the show dog the coat has to be hand stripped to keep the wiry texture. Like the Norwich they make good pets have good temperaments and like company whether it be other dogs or humans. The Norfolk is quick to learn, but the training must be consistent as this terrier has a will of its own. As puppies they could try the patience of a saint at times, as they are so lively and playful.
