Introduction

The Griffon Bruxellois has earned its place as a popular family pet and companion with its charming and playful character and cheeky-monkey face. Affectionate, fun-loving, and loyal, this toy breed is a popular choice with first-time owners.

History

There’s much debate about the exact origins of the Griffon Bruxellois with some experts believing the breed to be many centuries old and others dating its first appearance to the 19th century. Developed by crossing Belgian stable dogs with Affenpinschers and Pugs, the breed was used to keep rats under control. Known as “little street urchins”, their affectionate natures and cheeky faces soon led to them leaving the streets behind and becoming popular house pets.

Personality

The Griffon Bruxellois is a playful and people-oriented little dog that loves to entertain. Sensitive and intelligent, they are relatively easy to train, but their terrier-like mischievousness means they will often learn to push the limits of what it’s possible for them to get away with too. They form strong bonds with their people and will suffer separation anxiety if left on their own (even for short periods of the day) which can lead to excessive barking and destructive behaviour.

Health Issues the Griffon Bruxellois is generally a robust and healthy breed, but very short muzzles and flat faces can cause health issues surrounding breathing difficulties.
Care Tips the Griffon Bruxellois is relatively low maintenance. Grooming: smooth coats just need a weekly brush, but the wiry coat of the Griffon Bruxellois needs to be hand stripped twice each year. Feeding: two meals per day of high-quality food (too many treats for these cuties will quickly lead to weight gain) Exercise: a minimum of 30 minutes of exercise each day which could be several short walks or two longer walks. To stay happy and out of trouble, the Griffon Bruxellois also needs plenty of playtime with its people.
