BACKGROUND
This little dog
was originally the rodent catcher of the stables in Brussels and rode on
the hansom cabs as the drivers' friend. Various breeds are mentioned as
having been used to produce the Griffon of today.
AVERAGE LIFESPAN
When
considering a dog, 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 lbs)
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.
