We are an internet-based organization of people who fancy these special little terriers. Some of us are breeders, some of us show our dogs, most of us live with at least one 'folk or 'wich, others are still waiting patiently for their first one. All of us, however, have fallen in love with these independent, yet social, strong-minded, intelligent, delightful little dogs. If you too are a fancier of Norfolk Terriers and Norwich Terriers--or just want to learn about them--please read the informative pages at this site. And, you are cordially invited to join our club and participate in our active email discussion list for members. Join the email list via your application for club membership. MEMORIUM Our club was founded more than eight years ago by the late George Back, and his wife, the late Diane McManus. Tragically, both of them crossed the Rainbow Bridge in 1999, and we all strive to continue their dedication to protecting the breeds they loved and to an unfettered discussion of all issues surrounding the dogs, especially health and genetics.   IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A NORWICH TERRIER PUPPY, BE SURE TO SEE THIS NEW WEB SITE: http://www.home.earthlink.net/~norwich.terrier

How Can I Get a Norfolk or Norwich Terrier?

Norwich and Norfolk Terriers are not readily available, but if you really love these breeds and are willing to work hard, you should be able to find a pup for your very own.

These terriers have very small litters, so breeders are very protective of the pups they nurture. Once you make contact with breeders, you will be asked to answer many detailed questions about your lifestyle, your home, your family and your previous experience with dogs. And, you can expect to pay more than $1500 for a puppy, whether for show or a pet.

Nearly all breeders have a waiting list for puppies, so you may have to wait a year or more.

The International Norfolk and Norwich Terrier Club does not endorse individual breeders, nor do we give out a list of breeders. The very best way to contact breeders is at dog shows, where you can see their animals and meet the breeders first hand. (However, we highly recommend that you wait until after ring time before trying to strike up a conversation!)

To locate shows in your area, check the web site, <www.infodog.com> or the American Kennel Club <www.akc.org>. You can pull up a listing of shows in states within your area. When you make note of the show dates and locations, also note the show superintendent's name. Then about a week before the show, after entries are closed, consult the superintendent's web site to determine if Norwich and/or Norfolk Terriers are entered. Run a regular web search or consult <www.caninetimes.com> to find the superintendent's web site. The superintendent's pages will tell the number of the breeds entered, ring time and ring number, all listed under judging program. Looking at the premium list will usually give you directions to the show and sometimes a map as well.

You will learn a lot about the breeds in your discussions with breeders and eventually establish relationships with some who will put you on their waiting lists for a pup.

Also, if you aren't totally committed to having a puppy, but really want a Norfolk or Norwich Terrier, do ask the breeders you meet about adult dogs they may be planning to rehome. Retired show dogs, retired breeding animals and young dogs who didn't quite develop show potential make wonderful pets and present special opportunities for fanciers of the breeds.

But please, if you aren't absolutely, hopelessly, 100 percent smitten with Norfolk and Norwich Terriers, please consider adopting a homeless dog instead.
