Summary
About Norwich Terrier
Norwich Terriers are small, sturdy, confident terriers with prick ears, a foxy, alert expression and a harsh, weather‑resistant coat. Bred as farm ratters, they remain lively, curious hunters, need regular exercise, mental stimulation and moderate grooming, and are generally long lived.
About Affenpinscher
The Affenpinscher is a small, sturdy German toy breed with a rough, low‑shedding coat and a monkey‑like face. Once a fearless ratter, it’s now a lively companion: alert watchdog, playful and affectionate yet independent, needing patient training, regular grooming, and daily mental and physical activity.
