Norfolk Terrier
Norfolk Terriers (11-12 pounds) are plucky, affectionate, and hardy, great for families. They’re kid-friendly with supervision but may not tolerate rough play. Moderate exercise (1 hour daily, walks or digging) suits them; their wiry coat needs regular brushing and stripping.
Feed 0.5-1 cup daily of Merrick Classic Small Breed Recipe, with 28% protein for their energy and joint health. Monitor portions to avoid obesity. Suited for both indoor and outdoor living with secure yards, they adapt to apartments with exercise.
Training curbs barking. Perfect for owners seeking a compact, low-shedding dog, Norfolks thrive with engagement, not for sedentary or untrained homes.
