Norwich Terrier - Top 10 Facts

[@Crismans843]

Norwich’s can be ‘Barky’, but it’s worth it. Ours are 14 and nearly 16 and they’re still showing energy and love their walks.

He is my 1st "little" pup and now I'm hooked for life! A friend brought him to me after the loss of my shepherd-lab mix. He's smart, loving, easily trained and very eager to please. I have a fenced in backyard and a doggy-door that makes life easier for both of us.

What an adorable little dog. I never heard of them before, but my friend is adopring a 6 year be old rescue Norwich and I enjoyed learning about them. Theyre a little dog with a big personality. ❤

I have a Norwich she is 6 years old I did not get her as a puppy. She was a Breeder Dog and had three litters. She was house trained already We have a fenced in yard for her. She never barks and I am so glad to see in this video so many of the Norwich’s did not have there tails bobbed My Darla has the bobbed tail. She is a sweet Dog I don’t think she ever had a chance to be a puppy. Toys do not interest her. She loves to go on walks. Even though she was not a rescue I feel that I did rescue her.

I’m on my third Norwich. Love this breed. My boys were lovers my girl was not. Very smart, stubborn and indeed loves walks!!! This one has terrible skin issues and allergies. Not like my others. I love this breed. My Cairn is second and my third would be my Westie.

They can be walked without a leash at hikes if they are trained into it from a young age. Best to start in a fenced area, and slowly start taking them out of there with and without a leash. (Always with snacks and praise.) While the preydrive is still very high, most of the time they can ignore it if they are told not to chace after. Our oldest dogs (14 and 13) are lesslikely to go after animals but they do like to greet other hikers of we meet anyone in the forest. But they also can ignore them if I call. The youngest of the three has a much higher preydrive and WILL sprint after any game he sees- but he also comes back if not when I call, then pretty soon after when he gets there. I've found it is better to wait in the same spot instead of running after them, because they will find you faster than you could find them. They have very good homing sense and they easily remember walking routes. So if you get lost, wait for the dog to find you. Or walk the rest of the way home. Likely, your dog will be waiting for you at home. And as a word of comfort- our oldest definitely escaped our yard a few times with his digging. But he also found a way home under an hour of exploration. Gave me a heart attack each time but also many kisses when we reunited. Norwich are lovely family companions but they do also need a lot of room for their personality- so a flat without an open yard may not be the best fit.

Does your Norwich have a high prey drive? Can they be trusted off-leash when they're not in a fenced area? Let us know in the comments!

[@gilleous]

Mine is mixed with chihuahua and can be trusted of leash

[@bellazoe1]

Mine doesn’t need a leash and they don’t want to leave home.

[@ringonor4298]

If not trained properly early on they have a tendency to wander, can be independent minded. We got ours when a pup and they need lots of outdoor time, exercise. Wouldn't have any other dog though, part of the family, love em so much.

[@marlenehess1238]

I would never trust my Norwich off of her leash. If she sees Squirrels she goes after them.

How did it get so many view but 4 comments?

[@kkav4586]

A very few people actually own these dogs but lot of people are curious about them most likely😅

[@EscapadelaMatrix]

Any similar athletic small dog that can hold their ground and not be barky? I cant have barking dogs where I live.
