Brussels Griffons are expressive toy dogs known for a human-like face and a big personality in a small body. They bond closely with their people and enjoy being part of everyday life, including training games and interactive play. Many Griffons are sensitive and get anxious if left alone without preparation, so gentle training and gradual independence-building helps. Coat type varies (rough or smooth) and affects grooming needs. Socialization and rewards help Brussels Griffons become affectionate, entertaining companions.
Brussels Griffons originated in Belgium, developed from small stable dogs and companion breeds. They became popular as city companions for their charm and expressive appearance.
