Norwich terriers are only brown (or have a brown stripe down their back) and have thick wire hair. Cairn Terrier fur is light brown and can have a little black--usually around ears and nose/beard (others are all black), and is much softer and not as dense as a norwich terrier.

Norwich terriers are a little smaller- they also have "up" ears. Norwich terriers have a slightly less "terrier" personality, they are very good with children and tend to be less "dominate" then Cairns. Also Norwich terriers are more rare, only having 2 puppies per litter so they are very expensive ($1500-$3000). Be careful when buying a Norwich though, make sure it is AKC registered because there have been cases of people selling Cairns with cropped ears and calling them Norwiches.

What is the difference between a pitbull and a pitbull terrier?

theres a little difference. , pit bull, pit bull terrier, staffordshire terrier, and sometimes bull terrier. the staffordshire terrier is English bred. There is no difference. "Pit Bull" is just a shortened name for the American Pit Bull Terrier. All "pit bulls" are terriers. Just depends on if you want to use the full name. Your question is similar to asking what the difference is between a Rottie and a Rottweiler No, stafordshire and bull terrier are different from a pitbull, they are all cousin, and come from the mastuffs, however, They are different breeds, stafforshires are from American, we copied England of The Stafforshre BULL terrier (Which that plus pit makes a bully) And Bull terriers are also from England, te English bull terrier, they are what you have seen on Next Friday (Chico) the movie, But they have the egg shaped head, they are cute but Ugly at the same time. search the breeds up in Google images. and actually people use the term pitbull to describe a few breeds of dogs all sharing similar caristeristics (sp ?) ie; American pitbull terrier, American stafordshire terrier, stafordshire bull terrier. sometimes even cane corsos. so a pitbull could be a number of dogs but a pitbull terrier is probably reffering to an American pitbull terrier. its sometimes hard to tell any of the breeds apart. look up on youtube : the real pitbull terrier and that will tell you the difference between the American bully and the American Pitb ull terrier

How can you tell a mini bull terrier from a standard bull terrier?

The mini rat terrier is smaller and weighs around 10-13 pounds and up to 13 inches tall. The regular rat terrier is bigger and weighs around 13 to 20 pounds and up to 20 inches tall. That's the difference between a mini rat terrier and a regular rat terrier. There is also a decker rat terrier that can weigh up to 50 lbs and are more aggressive.As per RTCA (Rat Terrier Club of America ):TOY, MINIATURE, STANDARD or GIANT?There are officially no Toy or Giant varieties. The Standard by which our breed is judged by both the AKC and the UKC separates the varieties by height at the shoulder: "Over 13 inches", and "up to and including 13".... BTW: These same measurements are used in the Bull Terrier, Beagle and American Eskimo breeds for the separation of the varieties, and were also found to be the median height for our breed too. (10" to 19" are the acceptable and desired heights for our breed). THERE IS NO TOY VARIETY FOR RAT TERRIERS IN EITHER AKC OR UKC.Rat Terriers are considered by weight to be a small to medium breed. Due to the many size variations found in the Rat Terrier, using height allows for the separation of the varieties, but includes most every size of our breed and therefore allows the opportunity for their development within a breeder's strain without individual's being disqualified. (Rat Terriers are officially part of the Terrier group, and not the Toy group. There are toys out there, but if you are looking for one of these smaller 3-7# toys, we suggest you check out the Toy Fox Terrier www.atftc.com. The TFT has been a recognized breed for over 60 years. Buyers Beware - so-called Toy (UKCI registered) RT's are not true purebreds and may have been hybridized by some breeders, having Chihuahua, Toy Fox Terrier and/or Manchester Terrier bloodlines added, of which, we do not condone the use of).Source: http://www.ratterrierclub.com/facts/index.html


What kind of dog was Benji?

All the dogs that played the Benji dog were mixed breeds from animal shelters. Looking at them, it is definitely hard to tell exactly which terrier breed they are. However, it can be accurately assumed that all of these dogs were at least part Tibetan Terrier.
