About Us
Klofron Kennel moved from Branson to Fair Play Missouri in January 2023. Our sires and dams are AKC Champions or AKC Grand Champions. We are members in good standing with the Norfolk Terrier Club. Our goal is to maintain the breed in accordance with the breed standard while improving the overall health of our Norfolks. If you are interested in a puppy please contact us. We do limited breeding and do not always have puppies available.
I stay very busy working full time as a Physician Assistant, maintaining investment properties, farming, and taking care of and showing Norfolks. If you email please be patient if there is a delay in hearing back from me. Contact information located on home page.
Introduction to the Norfolk Terriers
The breed originally evolved with the Norwich Terrier as one single breed. Over time the prick eared and drop eared sub-classes split into into two separate breeds. The prick eared are the Norwich and the drop eared are the Norfolk Terriers. See our breed history page for more information on this.
Norfolk Terriers are small dogs with large personalities. Originally bred for ridding farms of vermin the Norfolk is a fearless, loyal, and affectionate dog. They are adaptive, hardy, and generally healthy. Norfolks are playful and puppy-like throughout their life easily living 13-15 years.
Norfolks are charmers. They often pose with a front leg up off the ground and have irresistible expressions that can melt your heart. They can be mischievous at times but will earn forgiveness quickly with their charming personality. Some Norfolks will "talk" to you in a low rolling gargle sounds. Interestingly they only seem to do this with human companions and not fellow Norfolks. More common as puppies, although the majority of our Norfolks do this throughout their life. There is a short clip of our Lucy "talking" to us below.
Norfolks are great companions for young children. Remember to always supervise young children with any dog.
