Hello to you Mr. Brussels Griffon! This terrier-like dog breed is known best for his almost human expression, hence, the greeting I just gave him. He is affectionate. Fans of the Brussels Griffon love the variety of colors this dog presents to us including red, beige, black and reddish brown, black and tan, or black.
They are much like the Shih Tzu in this regard as the Shih Tzu also has a rainbow of colors and combinations which make them so dear to those of us who love them. I first fell in love with the shih tzu colors. My first love was the "white" shih tzu with black nose, and lips. I never dreamed they also could be white with brown, lavender, blue noses......The Brussels Griffon is similar in that they also come in a variety of colors. Just look at this face. You can see right away this is a "clever" little dog.
The Brussels Griffon makes an excellent little watchdog, however, because of his size, don't expect too much of an attack from him. His attack specialty is "rats." He will alert you to strangers and strange noises around the house enough for you to take cover perhaps and plan the attack.
The Brussels Griffon was featured in 1997's hit, "As Good As It Gets," starring Jack Nicholson and Helen Hunt.
In the 1800's he was the custom for coachmen to keep small terrier types as "ratters" in the stables in Belgium. As with so many of our dog breeds, the Brussels Griffon was bred for the specific job of being a rat catcher.
Some of this same instinct exist today in these little dogs. Hopefully, your home won't be invaded by rats, but keep in mind, if it does, the Brussels Griffon might be just the employee you need to get rid of them.
He is not typical of the "pampered pet" like so many of our toy breeds, however, the small size and super-intelligence makes them ideal for apartment dwellers or people who live in small quarters. That said, he or she still requires adequate exercise just like you and me and all other dog companions. A daily walk with you should be plenty.
He is a clever little dog that will thrive well in environments with lots of human interaction and training.
I recommend using all the Life's Abundance grooming products for all dog breeds. The ear cleaner especially should be a staple in any dog's grooming closet.
Life's Abundance ear care formula safely dissolves waxy build-ups and effectively removes dirt and debris. Use it regular to clean the ears of any dog breed you own. The results of regular cleaning will help to keep more serious ear problems from developing that may require costly vet trips.
Directions:
Shake well. Gently apply enough drops into the ear canal so that it is moistened. Massage the base of the ear canal to help loosen wax. Remove liquid, dissolved wax and dirt with cotton or facial tissue. Clean applicator tip thoroughly after each use. Do not use cotton swabs or insert pointed objects into the ear. Use two times daily. If condition does not resolve itself after 4-5 days, see your veterinarian. For routine cleaning and maintenance, use 1-2 times weekly or as needed.

Oh my gosh, what an adorable breed!
ReplyDeleteYes. This is an adorable breed, and remember if you got a "rat" problem, this dog has natural instinct to catch them! LOL, but really, yes, this little dog is adorable looking. What interests me a lot with all our dog breeds is their special roles in our life. This dog is a ratter!
