Stuff to Buy

BEWARE: Unscrupulous breeders are selling mixed breed or Cairn puppies with docked tails as Norwich Terriers.

Health
This is, on the whole, a very, very healthy breed - unlike some other small terriers that have problems.

Ask your vet about the prevalence of the leptovirus in rats in your neighborhood.  Lepto is very serious but if your dog will not be exposed, the greater risk may be the vaccine.

Stripping!

Tips on finding a Norwich Terrier:

Check out the web site of the Norwich and Norfolk Terrier Club (NNTC), the parent club for these breeds.  See particularly http://clubs.akc.org/nntc/breeder/index.html and send for a list of breeders.  (Here is another good list.)  IT is very important to buy from one of these breeders and to get AKC (or the Canadian or UK equivalent) papers ONLY!  Several people have recently bought "Norwich" terriers which turned out to be Cairns with their tails docked.  They paid Norwich prices though!  (Cairn puppies can look quite similar to Norwiches -except for the long tails, but the adult dogs are bigger.)  Check out the latest news on unscrupulous dealers.

Join a discussion list before you buy, and tell where you live and what sort of dog you want - puppy or adult, pet or show quality.  You need to be informed before you buy; maybe a Norwich is not the dog for you.

Be advised that any money questions have to be discussed offline. Of course these little pups are hard to find with about 200 small litters a year in the U.S., so be prepared for sticker shock. I just amortize them over a lifetime of love. Expect also to be quizzed by the breeder and you may need to provide references. This is definitely a seller's market and reputable breeders are very careful where they place their little ones.

Also go to dog shows in your area and talk to Norwich owners.  Many owners of pet quality (as opposed to show quality) Norwiches made the contact they needed to get a dog at a pet show.

Following are some breeders.  I do not vouch for or against them.  Use them as a starting point, but check thoroughly.  A reputable breeder will be checking you as hard as you are checking them!
