Wes Jones raises Norwich terriers. They are hardy, little
terriers who are quite independent. They make excellent pets and
are even so social they prefer human company rather than other
dogs.
There aren't many of the foxy, active pets registered by the
American Kennel Club in the United States, especially since they
are a relatively new breed. Perhaps another reason, according to
Jones, is that they have difficulty getting pregnant. Norwich
terriers definitely are not one of the breeds responsible for pet
overpopulation.
Claire, a tiny black and tan model, is one of those Norwich
terriers that can produce a very nice litter of puppies, given the
right circumstances. Claire is no exception to the rule that
Norwich terriers often do not produce puppies with natural
breeding. The best way of guaranteeing pregnancy is to have her
artificially impregnated, surgically, at just the right time. Then,
hopefully, she'll produce a nice litter of three or four puppies in
60 days.

As likely as not because they come with AKC papers, and they're in high demand.
Norwich are more rare than Cairn....chiefly on this side of the Atlantic....2500 though is ridiculous!!!!
This is personal opinion....
The percipience that the Norwich Terrier is so expensive is because of how rare the breed is. The rarer the breed, the more you are going to pay for them, whether they are in high demand or not. Here is some info on the Norwich Terrier http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/norwichterrier.htm
Norwich terriers are on the weak breeds list which means they are at a high risk of becoming extinct. It is the rarity of these dogs which makes the premium tag so high.
