What are the differences between Norfolk and Norwich Terriers?
Norfolk and Norwich Terriers are two of the smallest terrier breeds, often with caramel brown coats and robust small bodies. Both became extremely popular breeds, because they should behave and easily train. Both types of dogs have a small litter, usually only two puppies in time, so getting puppies of one breed can be difficult and expensive. The owners face that the costs and time spent to acquire a puppy are well repaid by their own. In 1964, United Kennel Club in Britain officially separated them into two breeds. This change will occur much later in the US, where they were not officially reclassified until 1979. This later change can be partially attributed to the lack of both dog types in the US only a few years ago.
