Brussels Griffon

Anyone have one of these guys? I don't think I've ever seen one in person... they're great! I love the ones with wild beards ;)

I don't have one, but there is one that comes to our dog park, and let me tell you she is one tough little cookie. :)

I've seen them at dog shows. They seem to be happy little dogs, almost like a bigger dog in a little body, and they seem to have terrierl-like qualities.

I've been looking into getting one... Not sure if I ever will... but I've been thinking about it. There are smooth coat and rough coat varieties... I personally would prefer something with short smooth hair, but a long wild beard is a must. The only thing that's stopping me is Cronos, he'd get jealous! Plus I was thinking about getting another boston terrier too... so, who knows... But boy, I love these Brussel Griffons!

my mum has a rough haired one of these hes called charlie , this is him

Yes, i have handeled one and believe me, their tough looks dont decieve.

I don't have one, but I groom several.

They are personality plus, not a dog for the faint of heart. Of course, being a terrier person myself, I like that quality in a dog. :)

I certainly wouldn't mind having one someday.

To me, they look like a tarantula crossed with a spider monkey. ;)

I've been reading and learned that the smooth coat ones do not get that great beard :(

I love Brussels! I just met one last Sunday. The owner said he wasn't very friendly but he let me pat him. He smelled my hand (it smelled like Fenway). He was very cute.

I still haven't seen one "in person" :(

You still have plenty of chances! There are a lot of dog shows in your area. Here's one on June 15th:

I checked the Premium and there should be both Rough and Smooth Brussels Griffon at the show :)
