It's my understanding that this is basically one breed with different

ears.

I'd list it as Norwich/Norfolk Terriers. Or vice versa.

==================
As far as I know, they are two different breeds: Norwich Terrier, (pointed
ears) and Norfolk Terrier (tipped ears)

Quotedfrom AKC
"In 1964 England recognized the drop ear Norwich as a separate breed,
terming them the Norfolk Terrier. The American Kennel Club took the same
step effective January 1, 1979. The recognition of the two varieties as
separate breeds is now the rule in all English-speaking countries and in
Europe and Scandinavia.
Visually there appears to be a distinct difference between the two breeds,
resulting in two slightly different breed standards. Each breed has
developed with success since separation."

Yeah, I know all that. But even afficionados of either breed will admit
that if you could swap out the ears even they wouldn't be sure about the
breed. There's a really big overlap in appearance.
