The Brussels Griffon is the toy with the human expression, often "gruff" looking in contrast to their happy disposition. They love to be pampered and taken care of, and are easily spoiled. The Griffon can be difficult to housetrain, and they are determined barkers. They will usually get along with other house pets, and do better with older children. Watch their dietary intake - they can be prone to obesity. The Griffon needs little exercise and is perfect as an apartment dog. The rough haired Griffon will need at least a weekly brushing, more if it runs outside.
