What is the difference between Norwich and Norfolk Terriers?
The ears! Norwich Terriers have prick (erect) ears that stand up, while Norfolk Terriers have drop (folded) ears. They were considered one breed until 1964 (UK) and 1979 (US). Both share the same terrier temperament and East Anglian heritage.
Why were Norwich Terriers called 'Cambridge Terriers'?
In the 1880s, Cambridge University students kept small ratting terriers in their college rooms. These became known as 'Cantab Terriers' or 'Trumpington Terriers' (after a street near the university). They later became the Norwich Terrier breed.
Are Norwich Terriers good family dogs?

How big do Norwich Terriers get?
Norwich Terriers are one of the smallest terrier breeds — just 10 inches at the shoulder and around 12 pounds. Despite their tiny size, they're sturdy, athletic, and surprisingly strong.
Do Norwich Terriers bark a lot?
Norwich Terriers can be vocal — they were bred to alert and flush quarry. They tend to bark more than their Norfolk cousins. Early training helps manage excessive barking.
Are Norwich Terriers rare?

How long do Norwich Terriers live?
