Norfolk Terrier

The Norfolk Terrier is a cheerful, fearless little working terrier originally bred in England to hunt vermin and bolt foxes. Despite their compact size, they have a big personality: affectionate with family, game for adventure, and always alert to what is happening around them. Their drop ears and scruffy, weather-resistant coat give them a distinctive, charming look that matches their lively spirit.
