#7 English rat catchers began colonizing the United States in 1914, when Philadelphia athlete Robert Strawbridge returned to his homeland, accompanied by a dog named Willum.
From this dog descended the American Norwich Terrier line. Dogs were often called Jones Terriers - after the person who is considered the founder of the breed. In 1936, thanks to dog breeders Henry Bixby and Gordon Massey, immigrants from England (with drooping and erect ears) were entered into the register of the American Kennel Club under the official name. Following the example of British colleagues, US dog breeders divided the breed into Norwich and Norfolk Terriers in 1979. Separate clubs appeared at the beginning of the XXI century.
#8 Although dogs are no longer used as skillful rodent exterminators, they continue to conquer the world.
Shaggy kids are appreciated for their docile disposition and funny appearance - this is enough to become a welcome pet and a faithful friend for many years! The hunting qualities of animals fade into the background.
#9 Contrary to misconception, the Norwich Terrier does not belong to decorative dog breeds, although its size is very small even in comparison with other terriers.
These animals are squat and compact, but at the same time, they do not look awkward. The skeleton is strong, surrounded by moderately developed muscles.
Sexual dimorphism is weakly expressed: males and females hardly differ in size. According to the FCI standard, the height of a terrier at the withers should reach 24-26 cm, and body weight should vary between 5-5.5 kg.
