General Appearance:

Although it is a dog's with sleek exterior, its biggest advantage is grace and nature; It is a lively, lovable, cheerful and friendly with people, including children, and even strangers and other dogs and other domestic animals and domestic pets (pets). It is never aggressive, conflicts with other dogs in any case it does not seek and it tries to avoid them. It is tremendously lively and cheerful, smart, fearless, inquisitive, but also extremely sensitive; accurately understand the status of mind of its owner and if e.g. when owner is sad, it is never too intrusive, but it’s gently and quietly snuggle. Its sensitivity in this regard is truly extraordinary. It is literally the perfect companion for those who love lively but quiet dogs. They fit into the smallest urban dwellings. Because it is very social, it feels the best with another Norwich Terrier or a compatible Terrier or other breed.

Training/Behaviour:

The education does not make any difficulties, it is necessary only kind consistency; as intelligent and obedient dog-friendly owner and family members it learns quickly and well, just all must "pull together" what owner forbids ones must not allow second, this breed  is smart enough that it starts soon  to abuse. It would be considered disobedient; rough conduct on the part of the owner does not deserve it, and unhappy, especially when it is unjust; a reprimand for the actual offense just reprimand with proper intonation (not intensity) voice. Its size and coat fits into small urban dwellings. The long walks it is not demanding, although it is still unable to complete even longer hikes; Its great advantage is that it does not tend to move away from the owner, because the wildlife or its tracks is not interested in, so it can be sloughed off on walks freely; relative to the desired sturdy construction of the body it is suitable to feed in adulthood 2 times a day. It requires grooming, which is in no way cut like the Scottish Terrier but sensitive highlighting the desired contour lines, so it is quite difficult and it cannot be entrusted to anyone. Only someone who knows the breed and owner is also endowed with a certain artistic feeling, talent. This person can create with success.
