We adopted this little Brussels Griffon back in Sept (?) of 2009 and and he is only about a year and a half old. The cat is about to be 9 years old so he does not have NEARLY as much energy. The cat would rather lie around and get fat while the puppy antagonizes him. I'd say let him learn...

The Brussels Griffon (Griffon Bruxellois) is the only toy dog in which the coat should be harsh and tough. For this reason the Brussels Griffon probably has a little advantage over the other toy breeds in that he is able to scramble over rough country. He is sturdy and bright and a most useful little companion.

The chief characteristics of a Brussels Griffon are:

• A large head;
• Short undershot jaw;
• Full black eyes;
• Bristling whiskers;
• Rough red coat;
• Cobby body;
• The more monkeyish in expression the better;
• Ears are cropped adding a smart, alert expression.

Breeding the Brussels Griffon

Keep in mind that the Griffon's origin is of recent date and because of this great care must be exercised in selecting authentic stock. Inbreeding must be carefully guarded against as it is apt to destroy their stamina and intelligence. Intelligence is among the most charming characteristics of this little monkey-face dog. Without intelligence they are not true to type.

In regard to size it should be remembered that it is not the smallest of matrons that produces the smallest pups. A matron of fair size, about 8 pounds, and a small but strong sire is probably the best combination to produce true to type Brussels Griffon. The Griffon was never intended to be extremely small. The best Brussels Griffons of today is probably not much smaller than the original ones.

General appearance

In general appearance of the Brussels Griffon you might say it is a lady's little dog with high intelligence, robust, compact. His head should be rounded, with hard, irregular hairs, longer around the eyes, on the nose and cheeks. The ears should be cropped to add to his smart and alert expression. Without cropped ears, this expression is lost. His eyes should be very large, black or nearly black, eyelashes long and black, eyebrows covered with hairs, leaving the eyes they encircle uncovered. His nose should always be black, short and surrounded by hair converging upwards and going to meet those which surround his eyes. Lips are edged with black and with a moustache. The chin is prominent. The teeth do not show. His chin is edged with a beard.

The Brussels Griffon has a tail that is erect and cut to two-thirds. His coat is harsh, wiry, irregular, and long.

Weight of a Brussels Griffon at the maximum is ideally nine pounds. Lightest weight ideally is about four to five pounds, which makes the Brussels Griffon a fairly small specimen of a toy breed. He adapts well to small spaces but also is sturdy and rugged enough to roam the countryside. Very little grooming is required after a romp through even the roughest of territories. He is a good choice for active lifestyles, children and adults.

There are two types of Brussels Griffon - the Rough and the Smooth. Both are equally delightful companions. The rough coated Brussels Griffon is probably the most common. The smooth coated Brussels Griffon is easier to groom.

The rough coat should be wiry and dense, the harder and more wiry the better. The Brussels Griffon should never look or feel woolly. There should be no silky hair on the Brussels Griffon. The coat of a Brussels Griffon should not be long and shaggy. The rough coated Brussels Griffon should be distinctly different all over from the smooth coated Brussels Griffon. The Brussels Griffon is a rugged little dog that should look natural and not overly trimmed. The Brussels Griffon colors are red, black and black and tan.

The head of a Brussels Griffon should be covered with wiry hair slightly longer around the eyes, nose, cheeks, and chin, which forms a fringe. The smooth coated Brussels Griffon is similar to the Boston Terrier or Bulldog, with no trace of wire hair.

Of all the toy dogs, the Brussels Griffon is one of the most interesting and different. The modern version of the Brussels Griffon is a Belgian street dog crossed with the Affenpinshcer. Throughout the years various breeds were brought in for various features. The most successful crosses were maintained. Over time the terrier-like charm with almost a human expression is what we now know as the Brussels Griffon.

The Brussels Griffon is a rarity among dogs, however, he has faired very well in the show world. Some have become top winners in all-breed competition.

Equipment needed to groom the Brussels Griffon:

• Natural Bristle brush or hound glove
• Medium-toothed comb
• Fine-toothed comb
• Thinning scissors
• Tweezers

The Brussels Griffon needs brushing, bathing, drying, ear cleaning, nail trimming. The coat of a Brussels Griffon also requires hand stripping. Do not use clippers on a Brussels Griffon. The use of clippers will cause the coat of a Brussels Griffon to lose its natural texture and the color will fade.

For routine grooming use a natural bristle brush or hound glove. Regular brushing will reduce the need for frequent bathing. Regular brushing helps keep the coat free of dead hairs and the need for coming is lessened. Over-coming may take out too much live undercoat.

You should work through the coat with a bristle brush, then comb through with a medium-toothed comb. Leave a few hairs on the back between your finger and thumb and gently pull if the hair comes out easily, the coat is ready to strip.

Stripping Method for the body:

1. Start stripping the topcoat of the Brussels Griffon at the base of the neck between the shoulder blades down the back and side of the tail. Note: Always strip with the growth of the hair toward you.

2. Remove the long hairs from the Brussels Griffon thighs.

3. Remove the thick hair growing on the back of the hind legs, and the longest hairs from the front of the legs and feet. Do over strip in this area. The desired appearance of a Brussels Griffon feet are cat-like. Over stripping of the feet can detract from this cat-like look you want to achieve.

4. Strip the shoulders around to the chest. Remove long hairs from the leg.

5. Strip the long hair on the outside of each shoulder, down to the elbow. This will create a straight front which is desirable.

6. Strip the chest at the front to the lowest point.

7. The only place you may use clippers on the Brussels Griffon is under the stomach and around the genital area. You can also scissor this area clear.

8. Take a look at your Brussels Griffon as he stands on the grooming table. Remove all stray hairs that detracts from the smart, balanced look you want to achieve.

Stripping Method for the head of a Brussels Griffon:

1. Start behind the eyes. Strip only a few strands of hair at a time. Work back to each ear and over the top of the head. Leave some longer hairs over the eyes to form eyebrows.

2. Strip the back of the ears, down to the chest. Continue down the side of the neck toward the jawbone. This method of stripping gives a distinct beard that blends into the chest.

3. Comb the beard forward to enable you to pluck the ear and below the beard to the throat. You want a clean neckline and to accentuate the head.

4. Remove long hairs from the inside the ear. The edge of the ear can be closely trimmed with scissors for a neat finish.

5. The point between the eyes, just above the nose is called "the stop." This is a tender area of the Brussels Griffon. You will need to use tweezers to remove a small amount of hair in this area.

6. Remove the hairs from the corner of the eye with tweezers or curved scissors. This will prevent the hairs from sticking into the eyes of your Brussels Griffon and/or accumulating debris.

7. Remove the hair of the beard that adjoins the ears in a direct line from the corner of each eye.

8. Tidy around the anus of your Brussels Griffon with scissors or thinning scissors for a neat finish.

9. Trim hair from under the feet and between the toes.

Now you are ready to bathe your Brussels Griffon. Try using a natural mild shampoo and always rinse well. Check the dog's nails, ears and teeth. You may hand or cage dry your Brussels Griffon.

How often should your Brussels Griffon be stripped? This depends upon whether or not he is a pet or a show dog. For pets, a complete strip twice a year will be sufficient with tidying in between. For the show dog, stripping is ideally done in stages - side of body and legs first, then back, then head, because they grow in different stages.
