Wool “Norwich” has the properties inherent in the breed line: it puffs up in all directions, rough to the touch, resembles a thin wire. Around the neck, the guard hair lengthens to form a collar. The head is covered with smooth short hair, with the exception of the area above the eyes and near the mouth, where “vegetation” in the form of eyebrows, mustache, and beard is noticeable. The undercoat is dense.
