Together, the Norfolk and Norwich Terriers are the smallest of the working terriers.
In the 1880s, British sportsmen developed a working terrier of East Angelia, eastern England. The Norwich Terrier and later the drop-eared variety, now known as the Norfolk Terrier, were believed to have been developed by crossing local terrier-like dogs, small, short-legged Irish Terrier breeds

Later, they were called the Trumpington Terrier after Trumpington Street. This is where the breed was further developed at a livery stable. Then, just prior to World War 1, a prominent Irish horse rider Frank Jones sold quantities of the short-legged terriers to the United States, so there they were called Jones Terriers.

They are active and compact, free moving, with good substance and bone. Good substance means good spring of rib and bone that matches the body such that the dog can be a very agile ratter or earth-dog.
Norfolk terriers are moderately proportioned dogs. A too heavy dog would not be agile. A too refined dog would make it a toy breed.

Basset Hounds came about in France and were developed by French monks at the abbey of St. Hubert who were looking to develop a breed with a powerful sense of smell. Therefore, the St. Hubert Hound was originally created. Eventually, this breed branched off. While one line became the bloodhound, a mutation in another line of the St. Hubert Hound created a short-legged or dwarf hound, which is now known as the Basset Hound. This breed got its name because of its close proximity to the ground. The French word “bas” means low. Therefore, the name basically means “low-set hound.”
The Australian Cattle Dog was originally born in Australia. It was bred to help outback ranchers round up their cattle and to withstand the harsh outback conditions. The breed is loyal and devoted to its owner. The joy of owning an Australian Cattle Dog directly relates to the breed origin, why it was bred, the general appearance, its unique traits, simple diet and easy health care. According to Katherine Buetow in “ The History of the Australian Cattle Dog” she states, “There is continuing controversy over which breeds were actually used in its development. One of the difficulties in researching the history of this breed is that there was a lot of experimentation going on in trying to find the perfect combination of dogs to make up the ultimate heeler that could live and work in the Australian outback ”( 1).
In recent years it has been the pit bull which has come under the scrutiny of legislative bodies, as their reputation becomes more and more sullied by street crime. To say “pit bull,” however, is a vague reference to several pit bull types, which are considered separate breeds by registries like the American Kennel Club (AKC). Each type has a slightly different breeding history; many began with the breeding of bulldogs with terriers to produce a loyal, compact and tenacious breed (“American Pit Bull Terrier”). The three standard pit bull types most often mentioned by name in breed-specific legislation include the American Pit Bull Terrier, the American Staffordshire Terrier, and the Staffordshire Bull Terrier. That is not the extent of the legislation, however, which also includes dogs that “substantially conform to the breed standards established by the American Kennel Club” (Melvindale)....

In 1774, as the citizens of the thirteen colonies thought about declaring their independence from their mother country, England, the people of West Springfield were celebrating their independence from their mother town of Springfield. They requested incorporation of their town from the General Court for two reasons: a growing discontent with the representation that Springfield chose to send to the General Court and with the difficulties of geography. What was then called the Great River Connecticut separated the parish of West Springfield from Springfield making voting and attending town meetings difficult. On February 23rd, 1774, the Act of Incorporation was approved and West Springfield became a town.

They are pack animals, which means people should spend lots of time with them, so they do not get lonely. A dog goes woof, bark, growl or howl, which is the complete opposite of a cat. The canine group also has a defined social status, and they strictly determine their order of rank. The deciding factor in dogs is the tail and how high they hold their tail is how they determine pack position. If one dog meets another dog, and one holds its tail up, it that indicates it is the of the higher social class. Another noticeable difference between dogs and cats is that dogs are usually much bigger than cats. Dogs are also somewhat smarter than cats in the area of verbal command. For example, one can call the dog by name and usually it will come to, unlike a cat. Also, one can train dogs to do a trick on command. Some of the most commonly seen tricks for dogs are roll over, fetch, shake hands, sit down, lie down, and play dead.
