Breed Profile

From Belgium, Brussels Griffons have been seen working on horse-drawn carriages to movie sets. They are smart, cheery and amusing little dogs. These characteristics have made them popular companion dogs, too, where they typically favor one special person to give all their love and devotion!

Coat

Brussels Griffon are a colorful bunch! Red, black and tan, or solid black are just a few of their coat colors. In addition, the coat comes in smooth-coated and rough-haired varieties. This breed is not an excessive shedder, but does require some maintenance. Use a bristle brush on their fur a couple times each week to remove dead hairs. It is recommended to take a trip to the groomers every 3-4 times a year for a professional trim. Be sure to also stay on top of cutting their nails. Brussels Griffons are more of an indoor-dog breed and generally won’t file them down naturally.

Lifestyle

Brussels Griffons don’t necessarily need a yard, but do like daily walks around the neighborhood to stay happy and healthy. If you’re interested in competing with your dog, Griffons have been known to excel in agility and obedience.
