Norfolk Terrier Breed Standard
Terrier Group
General Appearance
The Norfolk Terrier, game and hardy, with expressive dropped ears,
is one of the smallest of the working terriers. It is active and
compact, free-moving, with good substance and bone. With its natural,
weather-resistant coat and short legs, it is a "perfect demon"
in the field. This versatile, agreeable breed can go to ground,
bolt a fox and tackle or dispatch other small vermin, working alone
or with a pack. Honorable scars from wear and tear are acceptable
in the ring.
Size, Proportion, Substance
Height at the withers 9 to 10 inches at maturity. Bitches tend to
be smaller than dogs. Length of back from point of withers to base
of tail should be slightly longer than the height at the withers.
Good substance and bone. Weight 11 to 12 pounds or that which is
suitable for each individual dog's structure and balance. Fit working
condition is a prime consideration.
Head
Eyes small, dark and oval, with black rims. Placed well apart with
a sparkling, keen and intelligent expression. Ears neatly dropped,
small, with a break at the skull line, carried close to the cheek
and not falling lower than the outer corner of the eye. V-shaped,
slightly rounded at the tip, smooth and velvety to the touch.
Skull wide, slightly rounded, with good width between the ears.
Muzzle is strong and wedge shaped. Its length is one-third less
than a measurement from the occiput to the well-defined stop. Jaw
clean and strong. Tight-lipped with a scissor bite and large teeth.
Neck, Topline, Body
Neck of medium length, strong and blending into well laid back shoulders.
Level topline. Good width of chest. Ribs well sprung, chest moderately
deep. Strong loins. Tail medium docked, of sufficient length to
ensure a balanced outline. Straight, set on high, the base level
with the topline. Not a squirrel tail.
Forequarters
Well laid back shoulders. Elbows close to ribs. Short, powerful
legs, as straight as is consistent with the digging terrier. Pasterns
firm. Feet round, pads thick, with strong, black nails.
Hindquarters
Broad with strong, muscular thighs. Good turn of stifle. Hocks well
let down and straight when viewed from the rear. Feet as in front.
Coat
The protective coat is hard, wiry and straight, about 1? to 2 inches
long, lying close to the body, with a definite undercoat. The mane
on neck and shoulders is longer and also forms a ruff at the base
of the ears and the throat. Moderate furnishings of harsh texture
on legs. Hair on the head and ears is short and smooth, except for
slight eyebrows and whiskers. Some tidying is necessary to keep
the dog neat, but shaping should be heavily penalized.
Color
All shades of red, wheaten, black and tan, or grizzle. Dark points
permissible. White marks are not desirable.
Gait
Should be true, low and driving. In front, the legs extend forward
from the shoulder. Good rear angulation showing great powers of
propulsion. Viewed from the side, hind legs follow in the track
of the forelegs, moving smoothly from the hip and flexing well at
the stifle and hock. Topline remains level.
Temperament
Alert, gregarious, fearless and loyal. Never aggressive.
