The Norwich Terrier is one of the smallest terriers.

It is impossible to verify where the Norwich Terrier originated from, but the breed of this dog contains the bloodlines of the Bird Terrier, Cairn Terrier, and Irish Terrier. The Norwegian Terrier, which was created to hunt small pests, was popular among Cambridge University students in the Victorian era, and was often called the Cambridge Terrier. Later, the name was changed to the Johns Terrier because of a breeder named Johns in Frank. In 1932, the erect-eared and droop-eared varieties of the Norwegian Terrier were recognized as the same breed in the UK. In 1965, the droop-eared variety was given the new name of the Norfolk Terrier. The AKC classifies it as a terrier.

There are two types of this dog, one with erect ears and one with drooping ears. In 1957, British breeders believed that these two dogs should be regarded as two separate breeds. So in 1964, the British Kennel Club allowed the erect-eared dogs with the same characteristics as Rags to retain the name of the Norwegian Terrier. The droop-eared dogs were renamed "Norfolk Terriers". Today, most kennel clubs recognize these two dogs as two separate breeds.

Their active nature always drives them to keep moving forward. They will be curious about anything new and have no fear. When facing their family, they are very affectionate and cute. Like a little follower, they will never go west when their owner goes east. The family must stick together. And they are good at socializing and are very tolerant of other pets in the house - including cats and other dogs, most of which can get along well. Due to their hunting instinct, they are not suitable for families with rodent pets.
