History: The Norwich Terrier breed comes from East Anglia in England. The Norfolk and Norwich terrier, used to be classed as a same breed, although they had different ear types. They were separated in 1964 in England and the AKC officially deemed them separate breeds in 1979.

Temperament: The Norwich Terrier breed is used to being a working breed and loves lots of activity, they are easy to train and require consistent rules.
