Are Norwich terriers a healthy breed?
Norwich terriers are generally healthy. A good diet, proper weight, plenty of exercise, regular grooming, and routine veterinary care should keep a Norwich in good health. One reason Norwich terriers are fairly healthy is years of concerned, responsible breeding. Conscientious breeders screen for hip dysplasia and eye problems. Clear dogs can be registered with OFA (hips) and CERF (eyes). The Norwich Health and Genetics Committee work with breeders and make available information about heath of the breed.
