The Norfolk Terrier is a true representative of what a terrier is supposed to be: full of fire, stubborn assertiveness, and yet more agreeable and companionable than some other terriers. Here are some key traits of this spirited breed:

Temperament:
- Norfolk Terriers are alert, sociable, and demanding of companionship.
- They like to be with their owners and participate in all activities.
- Their reaction to strangers may be friendly but is often a bit reserved.
- Socialization is crucial to prevent their natural caution from becoming exaggerated.
- They make excellent watchdogs without being aggressive.
- Norfolk Terriers usually get along with other dogs and cats in the family, though they can be a bit jealous, possessive, and bossy.
- Being true terriers, they tend to be feisty with strange pets.
Physical Characteristics:
- The Norfolk Terrier is virtually identical to the Norwich Terrier, with the most obvious difference being ear carriage.
- The Norfolk has drop ears, while the Norwich has pricked ears.
- In temperament, some terrier enthusiasts say the Norfolk Terrier has a feistier temperament and is “busier” than the Norwich, but it’s really a matter of individual personality.

If you want a small, sturdy, and tough dog that doesn’t shed too much and coexists with other pets, a Norfolk Terrier may be right for you. However, be prepared for their dynamic terrier temperament and their need for exercise and activities to keep them busy! 🐾❤️
