About
the Brussels Griffon
 The impish, snub nosed breed
known as the Brussels Griffon has become amazingly popular with dog
lover's world-wide, and it's easy to understand why. Remarkably
intelligent, sensitive and good natured, this small breed excels as a
family watchdog and requires little space, as they get plenty of exercise
hopping from one lap to another. They love attention! Small dogs, weighing
less than 12 pounds, the Brussels Griffon dog breed gained notoriety thanks to the movie
"As Good As It Gets", where a Griff played a prominent role.
The coat
comes in two varieties; harsh and wiry or smooth and tight, and sheds very
little. Ears may be cropped to a sharp point or carried naturally in a
semi-erect position.
The rough coat variety requires hand stripping to
keep it's texture and appearance, but the smooth coat requires minimal
grooming - weekly brushing will do the trick nicely.
Brussels Griffons are
best suited to families with older, well-behaved children who can treat
them with love and respect. Early obedience training is recommended.
