This breed comes in two varieties: the 'Rough Brussels Griffon' and the 'Smooth Brussels Griffon'. The Brussels Griffon is related to the Affenpinscher. Brussels Griffons are hardy, energetic little dogs that are sometimes demanding. Most adjust well to children and other pets. They love to bark and they're sometimes hard to housebreak.Brussels Griffons are part of the Toy group. Toy breeds are small companion dogs that were bred as pets for wealthy, cultured families. In general, toys are the perfect apartment dogs, since they require little, if any, outdoor exercise. Despite their small size, many toys are excellent watchdogs. Most get along fine with children, although they'll snap if teased or startled. Some breeds are jealous of other pets. Longhaired toys need to be brushed frequently, and some breeds need to be professionally groomed every few months. Origin: Belgium Height: eight inches Weight: 8 - 12 pounds Coat: The Rough Brussels Griffon has a short and wiry coat. The Smooth Brussels Griffon has a short, smooth coat. Tail is docked; ears may be cropped or left naturally half-pricked. Colors: Reddish brown with a black face, black and reddish brown mixed, black with reddish brown markings, solid reddish brown, or solid black. Eyes and nose are black. |
