Norfolk Terrier puppies for sale in British Columbia

Breed history

The Norfolk Terrier originated in England in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, developed alongside the Norwich Terrier as a small, fearless dog used for hunting vermin and working in packs. The two breeds were originally considered the same, with ear type being the main distinction—Norfolks have drop ears, while Norwich Terriers have prick ears. Due to this consistent difference, the breeds were officially separated in 1964 in the UK and 1979 in the U.S. Despite their small stature, Norfolk Terriers were bred to be tough, tenacious workers, making them both capable farm dogs and spirited companions.
