The Norwich Terrier is a kind and inquisitive dog called after its birthplace in England. The small-but-mighty Norwich Terrier, which is just 10 inches tall, is a lovely and cuddly breed that also happens to be brave and appears fearless when hunting rodents like rats.
Care as a Pet/ In Captivity
Overall, the Norwich Terrier is a cheerful canine that is devoted to its owner and affectionate. They are great family companions since they are versatile and curious. They are often sociable to other pets, so training and socialization are necessary to help them grow into pleasant and outgoing individuals.
Exercise
For the benefit of their mental and physical health, Norwich Terriers need a decent bit of exercise. They should have a lot of outside playtime in a fenced-in area, and walks should always be taken while wearing a leash because it will be difficult for them to resist their instinctive need to pursue small animals.
Nutrition and Diet
The Norwich Terrier thrives on premium commercial or home-prepared dog food that has been approved by a veterinarian. Water that is both clean and fresh should always be accessible. Treats should be provided sparingly, as with all breeds, and their diet should be restricted to prevent obesity- or weight-related problems.
Grooming
The tough (but essentially weatherproof) outer coat of Norwich Terriers is separated from their soft undercoat, which protects their small bodies from the heat and cold. It goes without saying that this breed will require routine grooming. Hand-stripping wire coats will maintain their lovely luster and vibrant colors; the procedure involves removing older outer hairs and extra undercoat to make room for new hair to grow in. Because clipping or scissoring eliminates the colored tips, the natural color of the animal’s coat will deteriorate and the coat’s texture will weaken. A crucial factor for prospective Norwich Terrier owners to take into account is learning to hand-strip (or finding a groomer who is willing to do so).
