What You Need To Know About Buying Norwich Terriers For Sale

By Beryl Dalton


Many people love the fun and energy that a terrier can bring to their lives. These energetic and bright canines can liven up any situation with their cute appearance and their fun antics. If you are thinking about adding a smaller sized dog to your home, you may want to think about looking for Norwich Terriers for sale. Here is what you need to know to make sure you get the right dog for you.

You may have never heard of this breed and there is a reason. Although some breeds of terrier are quite common, others like the Norwich are not. Still others may be mistaken for another type of terrier altogether, such as a Cairn. The last reason why you may not have seen one of these is that they tend to be born in smaller litters. Additionally, a female may not be able to have many litters as she may need to have them delivered by c-section.

Some dogs are easier to train than others. This may be because they are more laid back while others are more intelligent and will retain commands. Terriers can be very smart, for example, but also have strong wills. This may mean that they learn commands but do not always follow them. It is definitely something to consider when making your final selection.

If you want a small, compact canine, this can be a fantastic choice. They only tend to weigh ten to twelve pounds when full grown. This can be fantastic for someone who lives in a small apartment or house. It is also great for individuals who want to travel on a plane or other type of transport and bring their dog along.

Some breeds are also more apt to develop some serious medical conditions. Schnauzers, for example, can end up with tumors of the spleen and other diseases. Some are prone to hip issues. Other breeds are at increased risk for epilepsy. A dog like a Norwich terrier, for example, may only be prone to cataracts. The cost of vet bills may be something you need to consider.

Once you have done your research and have decided that this is the kind of canine you want you can begin to look for a breeder. Keep in mind that it can be somewhat hard to find pups from time to time. It may mean that you need to look for a bit before you find a breeder with available pups.

Many breeds have websites dedicated to them. These can be a fantastic place to start to get general information as well as possibly finding puppies or dogs for sale. Keep in mind that there may be different prices for dogs that are "show quality" than for pups that are meant for pups.

Viewing the pups in person before you buy them is important. Among the same litter there can be several different personality types. Some will fit better with your own personality as well as your lifestyle. You can also make sure they are being socialized with both people and animals. This can help you get a well-rounded dog that can make you a fantastic companion.
