NORFOLK TERRIER APPEARANCE:
The Norfolk Terrier has a wire-haired coat which, according to the breed standard, should be "all shades of red, wheaten, black and tan, or grizzle." In reality, the Norfolk can run to blond, though this is not considered desirable.
Since being recognized as a distinct breed, the Norfolk has grown apart from its cousin. Today, its coat is generally flatter and softer than that of the Norwich, its build relatively less stocky and its neck and coupling longer.
