  Conformation
Every purebred dog breed recognized by the American Kennel Club has a written standard (Norwich Terrier, Norfolk Terrier) that describes in detail what the dog should look like. Norwich and Norfolk terrier breeders and fanciers take this standard very seriously.

The main purpose of exhibiting a dog in a dog show is to earn points toward a Champion title for the dog. A dog with a Champion title has been judged by a minimum of three judges in three different dogs shows and has been determined to be the dog or bitch, at that show, as the one that most closely meets the description of the dog described in the breed standard.
