Summary
About Norfolk Terrier
The Norfolk Terrier is a small, sturdy working terrier with drop ears and a harsh, low‑shedding coat. Friendly, alert, and confident, it suits families and other dogs when well socialised. Adaptable to flats or houses, it needs daily walks, training, and regular grooming.
About Alpine Dachsbracke
Compact, sturdy Austrian scent hound with a long body, short strong legs and a dense, weather‑resistant red coat. Calm and affectionate at home but driven by a strong hunting instinct, it needs plenty of exercise, nose work and consistent, positive training to thrive.
