Is a Norwich Terrier a good choice for me?

Big Dog | October 30th, 2010

I would say yes, if you would like to have a small, loyal and an extremely intelligent dog, then the Norwich Terrier is the best choice for you. This little dog thrives on human companionship and can be very nice watchdogs as they are curious and fearless as well. This breed loves the older, considerate children and they also like other dogs in the house. The breed can get on well with other pets as well, but they should be introduced at an early age.

The coat of the dog is wiry, thick and straight that requires minimal brushing, as the breed is a low shedder. The Norwich Terrier has a long life-span and is a very healthy breed, they are only prone to health issues like genetic eye disorders, hip dysplasia and epilepsy.

The training of these dogs is relatively easy, as they are clever, but they can be difficult to housebreak, because they tend to have a mind on their own if not socialized and obedience trained early – so this is an absolute must for them. Otherwise the Norwich Terrier loves to learn new things – they even like tricks if they are provided with enough motivation and praise.

All in all, this breed is perfect for families with children who would like to have a furry friend that is lively and is a true companion for life. The Norwich Terrier needs long walks and half an hour play each day to keep them happy.

I hope that this few sentences will help you decide whether the Norwich Terrier is the best breed for you and your family.

The meaning of “Terrier” is quite obvious to all dog fanciers, we all know that the members of group of dogs were originally bred for hunting small animals such as mice and rats. In spite of this, most kennel clubs creates groups in a bit different way, however they usually have a group of Terriers.

I’d like to call your attention to something interesting: The United Kennel Club (US) places Pinschers and Feists, the Hollandse Smoushond and the Miniature Schnauzer in the group of Terriers. It also lists other US breeds here that aren’t recognized anywhere else. On the other hand, the Boston Terrier is listed among companion dogs.

Are Norwich Terriers good for all family members?

The Norwich Terrier can be a good recommendation for most families that may not have big spaces to accommodate a Great Dane or an Irish Wolfhound nor the strength and endurance to keep them when they pounce or lay on their laps.

The Norwich Terrier is one lovable breed that is so energetic that they can make good playmates for the children and will also be as playful to other pets that it has been properly socialized with. The ability that this breed has that many owners love them for is demonstrating different emotions as persnickety as one of many. It is like having another family member in the household!  These dogs shouldn’t be kept in kennels during the evenings or leased to a doghouse outside for they crave to be in contact with their human family members and love them too much.

Avoid unnecessary vet bills! Do your dog’s basic health check!
