About the Breed
In the eastern counties of England, a breed of hunting terrier
that was rather similar to the Border Terrier in many ways,
including colouration, was bred during the early 1800s. However,
it was only towards the end of the nineteenth century that
these terriers started to attract attention, becoming popular
with students at Cambridge University. Subsequent crosses
involving Glen of Imaal Terriers, Dandie Dinmonts and others
saw the emergence of the type of dog that has since become
known as the Norfolk Terrier.
These terriers were taken to the United States at an early
stage in their history, and used in a traditional manner to
drive out a fox that had gone to earth. Here they were originally
known as Jones Terriers. However, in 1964 a decision was taken
by the Kennel Club in Great Britain, which split the breed
on the basis of ear carriage, and the American Kennel Club
also agreed to follow this precedent in 1979. Now Norfolk
Terriers are deemed to have folded ears in both countries,
whereas the Norwich Terriers have ears that are held erect.
In terms of temperament, neither breed is quarrelsome by nature,
although they are strong, active dogs for their size. They
are best kept in fairly rural surroundings, where they can
obtain more exercise. Their coat is wiry to the touch and
needs little grooming. The dense thickness of the undercoat
provides good insulation, even against water. Norfolk and
Norwich Terriers show a loyal and trustworthy nature towards
people whom they know well, and settle happily in a home with
children. They should not be considered as typical toy dogs.
