The Norfolk Terrier is a small breed of dog known for its distinctive wiry coat and lively personality. Originating from England, this breed is distinguished by its compact, sturdy build, folded ears, and a brave, curious nature. It thrives in both rural and urban environments, often exhibiting strong hunting instincts.

United Kingdom, specifically East Anglia in England

The Norfolk Terrier is adapted to a temperate climate with seasonal variations. East Anglia features mild winters and warm summers, with moderate rainfall throughout the year.

As a domesticated breed, the Norfolk Terrier was historically used for hunting small vermin in rural environments. Its ecological niche includes farmsteads and countryside areas where it could assist in controlling rodent populations. Today, it is primarily a companion animal and adapts well to various living conditions, including urban and suburban environments, as long as it receives adequate exercise and stimulation.
