The average lifespan of a Norwich Terrier is between 12 and 14 years.
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.

There are different variations of the wired-haired terrier, I posted a link for a wire haired Fox Terrier. The "wire-hair" comes from their hair spiraling or looking like wires coming from their skin. It is neither smooth nor long. gets only about 1-2 inches in length and can look like little curls or spirals. You can go to www.google.com , select images, and type in "wire haired terrier" and see the pictures of the different variations.
The Norwich Terrier does shed, but not as much as other dog breeds. It is a very light shedder. Grooming, bathing, and brushing a dog can make them shed less. These dogs have shaggy, medium length, waterproof coats.
The Norfolk Terrier gained recognition by the Kennel Club as an independent breed in 1960. Prior to this, it was seen as a variety of the Norwich Terrier.

They're expensive!! When buying a Norwich always make sure it's AKC registered, otherwise you may not be getting a full blooded Norwich... they only have around 2 pups per litter so they are more rare. The cost is usually between $1500-$3000.
