Brussels Griffon
Alert. curious. Yours.
Nobody is prepared for the Brussels Griffon. You see a tiny dog with a pushed-in face and enormous, soul-searching eyes, and you think 'cute little lapdog.' Wrong.

The Brussels Griffon experience
You know you're a Brussels Griffon owner when...
●The monkey face. That flat, almost-human expression that shifts from deeply concerned to profoundly judgmental to pure adoration in the span of three seconds.
●The velcro factor, they're not just close to you, they're ON you. Always. Bathroom trips are a team sport now. Privacy is a memory.
●That dramatic shiver when they're not even cold. It's not temperature. It's a performance. They want under the blanket and they know exactly what they're doing.
●The Griff stare, those enormous, dark eyes locked on yours with an intensity that makes you feel like you're being read by a tiny, furry psychic.
●Watching them square up to a dog ten times their size with the confidence of someone who has clearly never seen a mirror. The audacity is unmatched.
