Overview:

The adorable Brussels Griffon is a charming, small toy breed originating from Belgium, initially bred to hunt vermin in stables. Their distinctive appearance features a compact, sturdy body, a domed head, and large, expressive eyes that give them an almost human-like gaze. They come in two coat types: rough (wiry and dense) and smooth (short and glossy), both requiring regular grooming to maintain. Temperamentally, Griffons are known for being affectionate, intelligent, and highly social, often forming strong bonds with their owners. While generally good with older, considerate children, their small size makes them more suitable for families with respectful kids or individuals. They adapt well to apartment living due to their modest exercise needs and desire to be close to their human companions. Key health considerations for the breed include brachycephalic airway syndrome, patellar luxation, and eye problems. Despite these, with proper care, a Griffon can be a delightful and long-lived companion.
