Do Norwich terriers require a lot of grooming?
Norwich terriers require regular maintenance to keep a consistently groomed coat. They should be brushed or combed weekly. These terriers are usually stripped twice a year. Stripping involves pulling out the dead outer coat by hand or with the help of a stripping tool. Some owners choose the natural look, doing nothing to the coat except brushing it. With this look a Norwich or Norfolk can be mistaken for a scruffy mixed breed, and the coat will shed more as it ages. A few pet owners opt to have their pets clipped. Clipping is not a recommended method of grooming since it does not remove the dead hair, but merely shortens it, softening the texture and encouraging noticable shedding.
