Brussels Griffon
With a smart, enthusiastic personality, the Brussels Griffon has won over dog lovers across the globe.
About the Brussels Griffon
Originating in Belgium as ratters, the Brussels Griffon soon became a much-loved house pet. Sometimes highly strung, sensitive and often the centre of attention, this breed requires an owner who is prepared to devote their time fully to their new companion.
Although small, the Brussels Griffon is in no way a handbag dog, instead this sturdy breed enjoys agility and obedience training and often excels at performance sports.
