The Small and Mighty Brussels GriffonThe small and mighty Brussels Griffon. Originally bred in Brussels, Belgium; the Brussels Griffon was developed by breeding together a small terrier (used in ancient times to catch mice in barns), a pug and a King Charles Spaniel. The breed was made popular in the 1800's due to a love of the breed by Queen Marie Henriette. WWI and WWII almost wiped out the breed completely. It was only through diligent breeding in the UK that the breed survived. Considered a rare breed, there are not many breeders world wide. The Brussels Griffon is an emotionally shy dog (but not aggressive), that requires solid socialization as a puppy. It is a short stocky dog standing between 9 and 11 inches and weighing about 10 lbs. It is a relatively healthy breed, with only a few genetic predispositions.
- The breed has been showcased in many movies/TV shows such as "As Good as it Gets", Mike and Molly, Sweet November, Spin City and The First Wives Club.
