Description
Norwich Terriers are a delightful package of feisty courage and affectionate charm. They approach life with an unparalleled zest, their bright eyes constantly scanning for the next adventure. These little dogs are surprisingly sturdy and ever-ready for a romp, but also love nothing more than snuggling close. They possess a big-dog personality in a small body, often blissfully unaware of their stature, and will happily challenge anything that catches their eye. Their loyal devotion to their people is unwavering, making them wonderfully engaging and playful companions who thrive on being part of the family action.
