I am very pleased that you are interested in Norfolk Terriers. I have had show dogs for almost 30 years and had Norfolks for about 9 years.  These cheerful little terriers are great fun and are wonderful pets.  My Norfolks are easy to train and I show them not only in breed but also in agility and obedience.  I also expose my older dogs to Earthdog and have them Therapy Dog Certified.  I work as a LCSW therapist and often take a dog to work with me or on a Therapy Dog visit the inpatient unit.

 

All of my puppies are usually sold at 12 weeks. By that time they have all their puppy shots and have begun training.  I teach puppies at our local training club, Merrimac Dog Training Club. I make sure each puppy is clicker trained beginning at 3 weeks.  Each pup learns sit, down, and how to walk on a leash.  I expose my puppies to adults, children and crowds.  Often they visit the local public Primary School for socialization before they go off to their new homes..

 

Additionally, all my pups are trained to a litter pan of Purina Second Nature litter.  As they grow, you can continue to use a litter box or have them use the outside.  Pups from my last two litters will go outside or use a box.

 

I dont ship my pups, most owners drive or fly here, the local airport is Newport News/Williamsburg.  Pups fly out in a small airline carrier under the seat.

 

Only a few people in the United States breed Norfolks and the litters are small, ranging from  1-4 puppies.  This  results in high  prices and waiting lists often may be 6 months to a year.  Most of us breeders work together to insure our puppies go to the best home.  If we dont have a puppy for you then we will try to help you locate a puppy from another reputable breeder.

All my pet puppies are sold with a spay or neuter contract.  The limited AKC registration does allow you to show your dog in AKC performance events such as agility, obedience and earth dog. Spayed and neutered dogs are much easier to train and housebreak.  We believe that only dogs that are show and breeding stock should remain intact.  Once my dogs finish their show and breeding experience, they too, are spayed

 

 Right now pet home puppies prices go up to $ 3000.   I offer lifetime support for your pup.  I ask that you have the puppy examined by your vet within 48 hours for your satisfaction. I want you to be happy with your new member of the family.  Any pup residing in this area gets free training from me at no extra charge.   If circumstances force an owner to give up a dog, I will gladly take the Norfolk and re home it for you.

 

Let me know any other questions you may have.
