We Are A Small Kennel In The Northeast Interested In Breeding Sound Dogs With Good Temperaments For Conformation Trials Which Are Equally Prized As Pets

The Norfolk Terrier line bred by Linda Lyons of Greenwich, Connecticut in the USA. As a small kennel, we are interested in breeding sound dogs with good temperaments primarily for conformation trials. Norfolk Terriers are primarily derived from small, red Irish Terriers, (Ireland) and large Yorkshire Terriers, (England) as well as the native East Anglian Red Terrier. (a type of gypsy dog) Norfolks and their close cousin, the Norwich, were originally developed as companion dogs and mousers for the students of Cambridge University in the 1880's. A perfect stable companion, Norfolks kept the barns free of vermin and also assisted in the fox hunt. A fiery Norfolk was released to bolt the fox when it went to ground in order for the hunt to continue. It is an enormous task to breed healthy dogs with the expense of research, time and money to bring together two sound dogs, especially within a breed considered to be rare. As we breed for health first, a show puppy would be a delightful reward. Maintaining proper diet, daily workouts and consistent socialization with children, new people, other dogs in the world at large takes a great deal of kindness, patience and time. These dogs are very special and are preferrably placed with young families with prior positive canine experience. Placing show dogs is different and these arrangements can be discussed offline. We release our pups at twelve weeks. We provide the pup's first shots, crate and "starter" care package, including food, puppy guide, etc. If you have an interest in a Laughing Lyons Norfolk puppy contact Linda Lyons:

Hello Linda,
This is Daphne & Les Mitchell writing to you, Teddy's
family/owners. We are not even sure this will reach you, hopefully it will. Teddy passed away very early Easter morning. Several months ago he began having trouble breathing. Ultra sound showed an enlarged heart/congenital heart disease. Ultimately he died of heart failure. As you can imagine, we are all very upset, as he was only 8yrs and one of the family. Teddy was w/ us everyday and everywhere we went.
His big personality and warm disposition will never be forgotten. I can tell you as I write this to you, I personally have not been this upset or missed anyone so much, since the passing of my mother. The kids are already asking if Teddy has any other brothers or sisters. Hoping this finds its way to you and you can find the time to respond.
Daphne & Les Mitchell
