The Norwich Terrier is a dog that was specially bred for the purpose of hunting rodents. It is a friendly dog, but it is also the rarest terrier breed because of its low litter size and the high need for a cesarean birth. Usually, the Norwich Terrier comes in different colors such as grizzle (a mix of red and black hairs), black and tan, wheaten and red. Discover more about our Norwich Terrier puppies for sale below!
