Norfolk Terrier
Terrier Group
This Norfolk Terrier belongs to one of PGAA’s visitors – Thanks!
The Norfolk and Norwich Terriers began as one breed for ratting. Today, the Norfolk tends to be more jealous than the Norwich, have drooped ears and tend to be more angular than the Norwich. The Norfolk is a good family pet and gets along well with children. They love to play. Daily brushing is recommended, and they shed very little. The Norfolk can be a good apartment dog but needs to be exercised. The Norfolk is a very rare breed with only around 300 born each year in the U.S. Hyperallergenic.

We STRONGLY recommend that you get your dog from a respectable breeder or rescue organization. Pet store puppies may get their dogs from Puppy Mills that normally breed only for profit, not quality or concern for the puppy or its eventual owner.
If you would like help locating a breeder or rescue agency near you please E-Mail PGAA ( ita408@comcast.net), and let us know your city/state and the type of dog you are looking for. Do not assume that PGAA has qualified all of the breeders or rescues on this site. Do your own check of each breeder or rescue — be sure that you are comfortable with the organization before you buy, adopt or turn-over a dog.
