The Norwich Terrier, which was produced by hunting small pests, was popular with students of Cambridge University in Victorian times, so it was often called Cambridge Terrier, and later renamed Hadron Terrier, because one of Frank's breeders was called Hadron.

In the next 20 years, in addition to Greyhound and its descendants, dog trainer developed other kinds of hounds, including the striped Staffordshire Terrier, which was only half its size. In this way, an excellent fox catching strain was gradually cultivated from companion dogs and warehouse rat catchers, and one of them was introduced to the United States in 19 14.

Although AKC officially recognized the Norwich Terrier in 1936, some Americans still associate the Norwich Terrier with Willem's breeder and always call them Jones Terrier.
