Brussels Griffon Characteristics
Brussels Griffons, or Griffons for short, originated as hunting dogs and later became popular as house pets.
They are charming, happy and affectionate dogs for the right person. They can be sensitive and temperamental and can demand attention and if these needs are met, they make a wonderful companion. They may also need additional time for training at home.
Griffons often get along well with other dogs and pets, but can be irritable toward noisy children. They can also bark at noises so they are not always suitable for apartment living.
Despite their small size, they are a healthy and active breed that enjoys a high level of activity. They also enjoy agility and other performance sports.
