Always on the lookout for adventure, the Norwich Terrier is independent, yet people-oriented.
As far as 14-year-old Katie is concerned, if it’s morning, then it’s time for her daily two-mile hike. “As soon as she sees the leash, she gets excited and barks,” says owner Glorvina Schwartz, a Norwich Terrier breeder in Palm Beach, Fla. “She’s slowed down a bit, but still has that terrier curiosity and loves to rummage around and explore in the woods.”
