NORWICH TERRIER

short-legged terrier breed developed about 1880 in England, where it soon became a fad with Cambridge students. It was later used by various American hunt clubs and has also drawn notice as a rabbit hunter. It is stockily built, with either erect or hanging ears, and it has a dense, wiry, weather-resistant coat, usually reddish brown. A small, characteristically rugged and loyal dog, the Norwich terrier stands about 23 to 28 cm (9 to 11 inches) and weighs 4.5 to 6.5 kg (10 to 14 pounds).
