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 Norwegian Elkhound, Black
Medium, powerful black spitz with curled tail, bred in Scandinavia to track and hold moose and other large game. Alert, vocal and loyal, it needs plenty of daily exercise and mental work. Robust and weatherproof, it suits experienced, active owners and remains rare outside its homeland.
