They enjoy play, training, and adventures, and they make excellent companions for active households that want a smaller dog with big confidence. Like many terriers, they may chase small animals and are vocal—consistent training helps. Their wiry coat needs routine grooming. Socialization and rewards, Norfolk Terriers are cheerful companions that bring terrier spirit in a compact package.
Norfolk Terriers originated in England as working terriers used for vermin control. The breed was refined into a distinct, compact terrier known for bravery and companionship.
