Norwich Terrier

Norwich Terriers are compact bundles of restless energy that somehow fit into small apartments by sheer force of personality. They’re affectionate enough to be lap dogs and alert enough to bark at every sound within a three-block radius, so they’re perfect if you enjoy a dog with opinions about your neighborhood’s activity level. Their wiry coat sheds less than you’d expect but tangles more, and their sturdy little frame was built to chase things into holes, which means they’ll test your fencing and your patience in equal measure.
