Are Norfolk Terrier Dogs Playful Dogs?

One of the things we adore about pet dogs is their playfulness. But some breeds are typically more playful than others.

In the spirit of a good time, we scoured through our breed profiles to find the dog breeds that tend to be the most enjoyable loving. It's significant to keep in mind that most of these breeds are not couch potatoes or shrinking violets and, in fact, generally need lots of mental and physical stimulation so they don't become bored.

You should keep in mind that all dogs are individuals - not all Labs are infatuated with playing fetch, and there are most likely even some Portuguese Water Dogs who don't like water.

Of course, with any of these breeds, a dog's health and age will affect his level of liveliness. Even with these breeds, you should have a veterinarian inspect your dog to make sure there are no underlying conditions before initiating any exuberant activities.
