I'm curious about this breed of terrier. Has anyone got one? What sort of character have they got? They're classed as a terrier breed so are they like a typical terrier?

So many questions I'm sorry, but looking into various breeds for when I've got my own house and can finally get a dog. I like the wire haired Dachshund and have worked at a yard that had a smooth and wire haired so have seen what these little chaps are like at first hand.
Where I used to live a chap had a Norfolk terrier which he walked on the some field and he was really endearing (didn't want to put sweet because it doesn't seem the right word to discribe the dog) so was wondering what the breed is like.
 
I love them, they are big dogs in a small body, SO much character! I haven't owned one but knew a few when i was working at kennels, they were always full of mishcief and very lovely natured.

I had a Norfolf cross JRT and he had a lot of the Norfolk temp, he was ace!
 
I've got a wirehaired dachshund! She's a fantastic dog with the best temperament you could ever want so I'd definitely recommend the breed. Can't comment on Norfolk terriers but I used to have a Scottie and I'd recommend them as a breed to anyone. In fact if I get another puppy it will definitely be a Scottie... full of character with the bark of a much bigger dog.
 
My dog has played with several at the park and they seem to be a lot of fun, though obviously fairly dominant in the typical terrier way.

My dog's "boyfriend" is a short-haired piebald dachshund (here they are, all colour co-ordinated) and I love him to bits. He's taught her everything she knows -- including how to wrestle while sounding like a wretched demon.
