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 Field Spaniel
Medium, athletic gundog with a glossy, feathered coat and dark, expressive eyes. Calm yet enthusiastic, deeply attached to family and often sensitive. Needs kind, consistent training, regular exercise, and mental work. Still relatively rare, valued by dedicated enthusiasts.
