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 Bergamasco
Ancient Italian herding breed, medium‑large and sturdy, known for its long, felted gray coat that forms natural flocks. Calm, observant, and deeply bonded to family, it doubles as a gentle guardian. Needs steady exercise, thoughtful training, early coat care, and is generally healthy and long‑lived.
