Buying a Norfolk Terrier

What is the typical temperament of a Norfolk Terrier?
This is a small, confident terrier with a generally affectionate and cheerful nature. They tend to be lively and bold without being as intense as some larger terriers. Many are social with people and other dogs when well raised, but they retain a strong instinct to chase small animals.
Are Norfolk Terriers good family dogs and safe with children?
They usually make devoted family companions and often bond closely with their people. Most do well with respectful children, especially if raised with them, but they do not tolerate rough handling. Early socialization and clear boundaries are important to prevent snappiness when a child pushes their limits.
How much exercise does a Norfolk Terrier need each day?
Despite their size, they are energetic and need at least 45 to 60 minutes of daily activity. Short walks alone are usually not enough, and they benefit from play sessions, scent games, or safe off‑lead running in secure areas. Without enough mental and physical exercise, they may become noisy or destructive.
How much grooming does a Norfolk Terrier’s wiry coat require?
The harsh, weather‑resistant coat is designed to be hand‑stripped several times a year, not clipped, to keep the correct texture. Weekly brushing and checking for tangles around the ears, belly, and legs is usually enough between stripping sessions. Clipping is common in pets but often softens the coat and can increase shedding.
Do Norfolk Terriers shed a lot?
They are generally low to moderate shedders, especially when the coat is properly hand‑stripped. Dead hair is removed during stripping rather than falling out around the home. If the coat is clipped or not maintained, shedding and coat dullness can increase.
What health problems are Norfolk Terriers prone to?
Overall they are a relatively robust breed, but there are some concerns to be aware of. These include mitral valve heart disease, certain hereditary eye conditions, and occasional orthopedic issues such as luxating patellas. Responsible breeders screen their breeding dogs and provide health information on the pedigree.
Are Norfolk Terriers hard to train given their terrier background?
They are intelligent and quick to learn but also independent and easily distracted by scents and movement. Short, varied training sessions with rewards work better than repetitive drills. Reliable recall can be challenging, so many owners use long‑line work and extra practice before allowing off‑lead freedom.
Can a Norfolk Terrier live happily in an apartment?
They can adapt well to apartment living if their exercise and mental stimulation needs are consistently met. Regular walks, active play, and training help prevent nuisance barking. Soundproofing or management may be needed, since they have a natural tendency to alert to noises in the hallway or outside.
Do Norfolk Terriers usually get along with other dogs and pets?
Many are more sociable with other dogs than some terrier breeds, particularly when well socialized from puppyhood. However, they still have a strong prey drive and may chase small animals such as rodents or outdoor cats. Supervision with smaller pets and careful introductions are recommended.
How are Norfolk Terriers different from Norwich Terriers?
They share a close history and look similar, but there are distinct differences. Norfolk have dropped ears, while Norwich have pricked ears, and some owners describe the Norfolk as slightly calmer and more easygoing, though both are active terriers. Breed clubs treat them as separate breeds with their own standards and breeding programs.
