Trisven13 Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 I've noticed that quite a few of my European Facebook friends who have Fauves also have Norwich Terriers. They're not a breed that I know a lot about but they sure are cute little orangey scruffers. So what are they like? Went looking for a Norwich Terrier thread in the breed info thingy but couldn't find them there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sayly Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 The ones I have met have been typical terriers, but adorable! There is a UK Terriers breed thread, their might be some people in there who could give you a better idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sayly Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 I know Norfolks! The ones I know are fantastic with kids, good family pets but still have the typical terrier drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poochmad Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Apart from the ears, they are just like Norfolk Terriers :D That's what I read too. One has erect ears - Nowich Terriers and one has folded ears, the Norfolk Terrier. They both look like nice dogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danois Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Gomez (who used to be on here) had a little Norfolk - called Gomez. He is the cutest little thing - lovely temperament and a real character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiverStar-Aura Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 I've always thought the Norwich Terriers look a lot like an Aussie Terrier only with a shorter, more square-looking nose. I met one at the local dog park and he was a gorgeous show boy (Rufus if memory serves). They're on my "want to own" list, however, they're very hard to find. There are few breeders, litters are small and the waiting lists enormous. Their temperament seems very much like an Aussie Terrier too; very happy-go-lucky, determined and loveable!

Loyal K9 Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 We have a 4 years old Norwich (Bailey). She is a very friendly dog, too friendly sometime. We walk her almost daily. She will say hi to most people she meets. For a small dog she can walk a fair distance. Like most Norwich, Bailey is not a lap dog. She either runs around or sleeps. Like most terriers, she is stuborn. She is cute though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simply Grand Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Ooo Norwich terriers, gorgeous! Added to my desired breeds list after watching Best in Show! Aussie Terriers are on the list too and both were considered before I got Riley (Sheltie). I seem to be into Collie breeds now but if I get a terrier down the track it would be a Norwich or an Aussie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One has erect ears - Nowich Terriers and one has folded ears, the Norfolk Terrier. They both look like nice dogs. They used to be one breed until they decided to split them into 2 breeds due to the ear carriage. There are a few other subtle differences.
