• As a working terrier of East Anglia, the Norwich was believed to have been developed by crossing small Irish Terriers with other short-legged terrier breeds.



• Once known as Cantab Terriers, the game and hardy little dogs were useful on the hunt, in the stableyard and as a fun-loving family pet.
