Norwich Terrier

The Norwich Terrier was developed as a hunting breed by a British sportsman in the nineteenth century. The breed became very popular with Cambridge University students who kept them in their dorms. This popularity led to them becoming the official mascot of the University.

Norwich Terriers were introduced to the United States after World War I. They were first accepted to the English Kennel Club in 1932 and the American Kennel Club in 1936, though they were recognized under the name "Norfolk Terrier" at the time. Later, in 1964, they were recognized independently as Norwich Terriers.
