Animated and watchful, the Norwich Terrier is one of the smallest terrier breeds. Stocky and square, it maxes out at about 12 pounds—but don’t tell them that! The Norwich Terrier is bold, with a larger-than-life personality. They have a double coat with a hard, wiry, and straight outer coat and a foxy expression, hinting at their tenacity.
