Is my rescue a Norfolk terrier?

[Lacuna]

I'm always being asked what type of terrier my rescue girlie is. I've always thought yorkie mix and it matters not one jot to me one way or the other. But I was struck by her resemblance to a Norfolk terrier I saw online.

Am I just imagining it?

Do you have a picture of your dog?

Yup just added them - I tried to add them form my phone rather than the laptop and it kept rejecting them

She's very similar to the online pic isn't she?

I know - I was quite surprised. I did a Google image search on her after meeting a lady was telling me on my walk today that she looked like a breed but she couldn't remember what it was.

I am no expert on terriers but she is a lovely looking terrier

Could well be, she is lovely anyway as I am sure you know! How did she end up in rescue?

I didnt' realise they came in black and tan so learnt something

Came from a multi dog household. 5 other dogs and they were picking on her so she ended up in rescue. Been working quite hard on her meeting other dogs in a nice manner. Shes come on miles since she first arrived but still quite reactive with big dogs.

I didnt either. Thought it was just variants on brown. I met some black and tan borders recently too and hadnt heard of them.

Having never met or owned a Norfolk terrier, but having owned lots of yorkies, and my best friend being a border breeder, I’d have said she was a cross between the two.

Having seen your attached pic, I’ve no idea!

She's absolutely lovely. Is she a bit tall/ long legged for a Norfolk? Could maybe check her height against the breed standard as that might give you an idea?

She looks very similar to a yorkie x jr who lives nearby and is the only dog we meet out hacking who goes barkbarkbark
Whatever yours is, she is lovely

She's lovely whatever she is! And very lucky to have found a home with you.
