originally the rodent catcher of the stables in Brussels and
rode on the hansom cabs as the drivers' friend. Various

Griffon of today.

please realize that you are taking it on for its lifetime.
Griffons live from between 10 to 16 years of age.
AVERAGE WEIGHT
Weight: 2.2 - 4.9 kgs (5 - 11

BREED
PERSONALITY/CHARACTERISTICS/ TEMPERAMENT
The Griffon Bruxellois is a
small dog with definite terrier instincts, and an inflated
sense of self worth, however its arrogant expression belies
its loving and amiable disposition. The Griffon is very much
what you make it. If you have children, the dog will enjoy
their games and going for energetic walks. If you are older
and your daily pursuits are more leisurely, the dog will
grow up more sedate and become a close and loving friend.
Griffons are very trainable and many have obedience and
agility titles.
COMPATIBILITY WITH OTHER PETS
Excellent
CARE REQUIREMENTS
There are two distinct types
of Griffin, the Griffon Bruxellois, the rough-coated variety
with the whiskers and beard, and the smooth-coated Petit
Brabancon.
The rough coated Griffon
requires regular grooming with a brush and comb. Twice a
year it will need its coat either hand stripped (for
showing) or perhaps clipped if it is a pet. Smooth-coated
Griffons do not need the same coat care as do the Roughs, so
if you are taken with the Griffon character but feel you
could not manage the longer coat, then a Smooth is the right
dog for you.
Be very careful about using
flea collars on your Griffon and always air them out well
before putting them on your dog.
Fussy feeders are generally
made that way by their owners, so decide what you want your
Griffon to eat and do not give in to its pleading looks. A
good small-sized dry food mixed with canned food is ideal.
Griffons will take just about
as much exercise as most owners are willing to give, but are
also content to be couch potatoes.

PLEASE TAKE NOTE
Potential breeders should be
aware that rearing Griffon puppies is often not easy - but
once they reach six weeks of age they develop into tough
little dogs with few problems.
IDEAL OWNER/S
A Griffon is a very adaptable
little dog that will fit very well into considerate families
with young children, as well as being the ideal companion
for older people.
