Breed Review: Norwich Terrier (19 Pics)

On the one hand, little rat-catchers are very vigilant and like to bark in response to an extraneous sound. On the other hand, this kind of foresight "breaks" on the friendly disposition of the animal. The terrier is more likely to wag its tail with joy than rush to attack the stranger. You should not expect from the dog and the frenzied protection of property: some Norwich Terriers are ready to turn a blind eye to the intrigues of a thief in response to a caress or an appetizing treat. Training with an experienced dog handler will correct the situation for the better, but this terrier still cannot be made a great watchman. If guarding qualities are important to you, pay attention to other breeds: Giant Schnauzer, Doberman, or Boxer.

The older the child, the better: the animal will not tolerate disrespect. The pet will not show its fangs in response to an accidental poke, but it will not continue the fun game with a little friend.

Representatives of the breed do not mind the four-legged neighborhood. Terriers are tolerant of dogs, but a society of cats will only endure if there is no reason for jealousy. It is better to avoid the company of decorative rodents and birds: the hunting instincts of Norwich terriers do not obey even the strict order of the owner. Isolation and punishment will not have the desired effect either. The dog will launch a real hunt, which will end in success - but, unfortunately, not for your little friend.

Rare walks and lack of physical activity are a direct path to spoiled furniture and other destructive entertainment of the Norwich Terrier. Take your pet chasing a ball or frisbee, searching for hidden objects, or overcoming an obstacle course. The Terrier will happily throw out the accumulated energy and will not bother you with whims during the rest of the evening.
