Norfolk Terrier Breed Standard

Originating in the 19th century, the Rover Terrier is a hunting terrier rather than a pleasure dog, with a coat and short legs that are naturally resistant to harsh weather, earning it the title of "the perfect villain" in the field. This versatile and delightful breed can burrow underground to chase away foxes and capture or disperse other pest animals. He can act individually or in groups. Glorious scars or tears in the coat are acceptable in the dog show ring. The Rover Terrier is not exactly a play dog, but his lively and pleasing personality has led many people to want to keep him as a companion dog. There are not many breeds of this versatile and talented breed that can chase foxes or other vicious beasts in the wild, and they can act alone or in teams.

The Rover Terrier, brave and reckless, is mainly characterized by its indomitable nature, its loyalty to its owner and its great charm. It is affectionate and quite submissive. The Norfolk Terrier must maintain its smaller size to conform to the prescribed breed standard. It is most important never to sacrifice his outstanding personality and breed characteristics for his appearance and form.

Vigilant, friend-loving, brave and loyal. Non-aggressive. Small but sturdy, alert and fearless. It is good-tempered, sociable, a lovely companion, very affectionate and loving. Requires lots of space and a large apartment or house with a yard. The Rolf terrier, like other dogs, does not need frequent bathing, just once every half month in winter and once a week in summer, because the skin of dogs and humans is different in acidity and alkalinity, while the skin of dogs is alkaline and much thinner than human skin, frequent bathing will destroy its natural protective oils and cause many skin diseases. We often need to help dogs clean their ears and eyes when bathing and grooming the Rolfe Terrier again, so what should be noted in the daily care?

The first is to remove the dirt from the ear shell, and the second is to clean the ear canal. The canal of the dog tends to accumulate wax, dirt or moisture inside the ear canal, and the dog's ears need to be cleaned and kept dry. Dirt and moisture inside the dog's ears can easily cause ear inflammation if they are not removed frequently.

It is easier to clean the outer ear shell, but you have to be careful when cleaning the ear canal. You can use a cotton swab with a little olive oil and wipe the entrance inward a little. The cotton swab should not be too long and the other hand should hold the ear and wipe slowly until it is clean. If there is a lot of ear wax in the external ear canal, put 1 drop of 2% borax water to soften it and remove it carefully with tweezers. When the dog's head shakes, pull out the tweezers immediately to prevent hurting the eardrum or the mucous membrane of the ear canal.

After cleaning, if there is inflammation, pus, or parasitic fleas, use medication. If there are no other symptoms, sprinkle a little boric acid powder to keep the ear dry. In winter, very short-haired puppies are prone to frostbite around the ears, so a small amount of oil should be applied at all times, and a little massage should be given.
