Norfolk Terriers Gainesville GA

1. Physical Characteristics. The Norfolk Terrier is the smallest of the working terriers. Its body is short and stable. Norfolk's faces have a semi-pronounced snout and ears that point at attention. A half-docked tail finishes off the wiry coated body of the animal.
   
   
2. Disposition. The Norfolk are relatively easy to train provided they have constant commanding as young pups. They are good with children and are generally very affectionate. Norfolks can get jealous of other dogs when they are given more attention, but for the most part they can be called loyal, and not possessive. Norfolks always aim to please and will retrieve tennis balls and toys all day long if you let them.
   
   
3. Physical Needs: Exercise. The Norfolk is a working dog. It was bred, years ago, to hunt small rodents and to chase animals of prey. Nowadays a Norfolk is less apt to dig you up a mole as he is to wake you up to play fetch with his favorite toy. Norfolks need space to sprint and places to dig (one of their favorite pastimes). A yard is not an absolute must for an owner of a Norfolk, but you should give your pooch at least two to three ample walks a day. Norfolks who do not get enough exercise often substitute barking spells for walks and can easily dig their way through Grandma's hand-me-down couch if given nothing better to do.
