About Norwich Terrier Dogs

Norwich Terriers are small, sturdy terriers distinguished from Norfolk Terriers by their erect, pointed ears. They are among the smallest working terriers but possess the fearless, confident spirit typical of the terrier group. Their happy, adaptable nature makes them excellent companions.

Adopting a Norwich Terrier brings a cheerful, loyal friend who adapts well to many living situations. They are affectionate with family, good with children, and sociable with other dogs. Their moderate exercise needs and compact size make them ideal for both city and country living.

Local Climate & Pet Care

Winter

42°F to 68°F

Dec – Feb

Phoenix winters are mild and sunny, making them the prime season for outdoor pet activities. Hiking trails at South Mountain and Papago Park are perfect for dogs in this comfortable weather. Nighttime temperatures can dip into the low 40s, so smaller breeds may need a light layer for early morning walks.

Spring

55°F to 90°F

Mar – May

Spring starts pleasantly but heats up fast by May, when temperatures regularly hit 90°F. Enjoy trails and dog parks in March and April before the heat sets in. Rattlesnakes become more active in spring, so stay on marked trails and consider snake avoidance training for your dog.

Summer

78°F to 106°F

Jun – Aug

Summers are extreme with temperatures exceeding 105°F and pavement reaching 170°F. Walk dogs only before 7 AM or after 8 PM, and always test the ground with your hand first. Keep fresh water available at all times, as heatstroke is a life-threatening risk for pets in the Valley.
