How much should I expect to pay for a 9 month old Norwitch..

Terrier? I am considering buying one and I am in Maine. Any information would be helpful. Thanks, Russell. My email is rspear@mossinc.com

I don't know if anyone can truly answer that. So much depends on so many factors.
More importantly, you want to know what health testing has been done on both the dam and sire of any pup you consider. Some breeders have a different price for show quality pups versus pet quality.
Some don't, if they do extensive health testing and offer guarantees on ALL pups, a pet quality pup has cost them just as much to 'produce' as a show pup.
Is this pup intact or already neutered/spayed? That may affect the price.
Has the breeder/owner of the pup asked you MANY questions to determine the suitability of this pup and you being a match?
Do you get the impression that the breeder/owner of this pup is looking out for the pups best interest and not just thinking of the money they will get?
Have YOU asked the breeder/owner about health testing in their dogs?
Is the breeder willing/desiring to keep in touch with you so that if you have questions or concerns you can turn to them for support?
I am not at all saying cost is NOT a factor but there are so many other things to consider before being able to say the cost is too high.
Have you had dogs before?

Are you looking for a breeder? Or have you found one?
The dogchow breed selector's price is $1350.00 but I think they usually have low price estimates.

Have you done all your breed research and made sure the Norwich is the right breed for you?
This website lists the goods and bads of the norwich and norfolk:

If you really want a Norwich, you might have to drive a ways, as I think they are pretty rare.
