Pet Profile: Mr. Borris the Norwich Terrier

With his regal bearing, Mr. Borris--according to his owner--is the epitome of the perfect fur baby.
52 Comments

Name: Mr. Borris
Breed: Norwich Terrier
Age: 1 year old
Sex: Male
Furry BFF to: changchang
 
Often mistaken as a Yorkie, Mr. Borris is the small burly Norwich Terrier companion of Kristine Avestruz. Pushing 6kgs. and equipped with extra sensory perception for any kind of food, this 1-year-old pooch has already learned quite a few tricks like sitting, lying down, and "leave it."

A number of his favorite activities are basking, frolicking in the grass, digging, and swimming. Every other week, he spends his time in Laguna where he enjoys a kingly afternoon dip in the pool. If I didn't know better, I'd say he was a mer-dog with the way he jumps and threads in the water.

Setting aside biases, my family and I are proud to say that Mr. Borris is the epitome of a perfect furkid. As his royal gesture, Mr. Borris will gladly share his winnings with his best friends in Laguna, Chopper and Dax. Truly, this Norwich terrier is the cutest dog with the biggest heart.

    How adorable, definitely a terrier you don't see too often here in our country. Mr. Borris reminds of the PringlesMan hahah.

    I knew I wasn't the only one hehe. It's kind of sad that terriers don't get appreciated much like toy dogs, They're a bit big but they make up for it by being so passionate and devoted towards their masters, sometimes to the point of being overly attached.

    I wouldn't say they aren't appreciated, It's just probably the times (remember when dalmatians were everywhere). Don't worry @sallydev, all the pets here are uber-cute and perfect. Mr. Borris stands out for me though, but that's just me. :) cheers

    Hi! I like your terrier, his hair looks amazing. Are you aware that Ms. Bianca Araneta Elizalde has the same breed as that one?

    @ Seizetheday



    Yes~ in fact, Mr. Borris and I met Bianca and Perrito (her furkid Norwich) at Highstreet a few weeks back. :)



    She is very nice and beautiful, I must say. And Perrito is such a cutie...Would you believe that she grooms Perrito herself? Nakakatuwa talaga :)

    yes, you should :) Norries are the least feisty among all the different types of terriers. And they are easy to train too :)

    I saw a couple of puppies being sold online, I'm not sure though if they're the real deal because I can't tell the difference between a cub norwich and yorkie.. If I would buy one I'll definitely look for the same coat as Mr. Borris! He sure is a head-turner, you must be a really proud pet mom. Good luck!

    Re puppies, i personally would not recommend buying online. A number of sellers there are pretty dodgy...so be very careful. Research muna or go to dog shows :)

    Oh it's a norwich terrier hihi I apologize for not reading the article, I was just checking out his pics.I looked around the web and it's difficult to find a breeder here in the phils, I have a feeling this dog doesn't come cheap.

    @ dropdeaddiva



    Our heartfelt thanks!! :) Mr. Borris is a Philippine born and bred norwich terrier. Buti ka pa, we always frequent eastwood but we have never spotted any norwich.



    But i must say, you have a good eye for breeds. People often mistake him as a stout yorkie LOL!

    Actually, there are a couple of reliable breeders here in the Phils...but those selling online are sketchy. It's best to pay a visit to breeders, malay mo ma-love at first sight ka rin sa norwich terriers. :)





    @ nikk1



    aww thank you! I think you should ask your kuya to get you one LOL! :) Dogs are super stress busters and will shower you with lots of love!

    everyday is a struggle!





    @ pamsyshwamsy



    aside from the necessities - socks and shoes - i have bought him a raincoat and a bandana.. In dressing him up, siguro, a plan white bow tie will do. :) His black hair/ coat looks like a vest naman, so mukha na syang may damit haha





    @ anjelicab



    thanks again for your appreciation~

    it's nice to know that there is a growing number of pinoys who appreciate non or mixed breeds. All pet deserves attention and love :)
