Norwich Terrier Did You Know?

• The Norwich Terrier is a fearless little dog bred to hunt vermin.
• The Norwich Terrier’s prick ears are a distinguishing characteristic.
• The name covered both the drop-eared and prick-eared varieties until 1963.
• 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.
• There was not a lot of uniformity in the breed until 1923 when the breed became known as the Norwich Terrier and a breed standard was accepted by The Kennel Club (England).
