Brussels Griffons are small dogs with big brave hearts. They are not often found on city streets, and their unusual appearance does not cause everyone’s affection, like, for example, the cute face of a Spitz. However, those who had a chance to get to know them better remain incomplete delight from the cheerful disposition, touching tenderness, and exceptional devotion of the dog. And if the thought of buying a miniature pet has been visiting you for a long time, then there will be no doubts about the choice of the breed – only the Brussels Griffon!
Character
The character of the Brussels Griffon is largely determined by the fact that these dogs are partly terriers. This means that they are completely loyal to their owners. Wherever their master goes, the Brussels Griffon will follow him everywhere.
The Brussels Griffon is more of a constant companion than a family pet. Dogs of this breed need constant contact with their owner and do not tolerate loneliness very well. Therefore, it is better not to have such a dog for people who do not spend a lot of time with their pet.
Care
Problems can be caused by going somewhere and leaving the pet to unfamiliar people. This breed is extremely difficult to tolerate separation from the owner. The dog may refuse to eat, become depressed, and even get sick. Be sure to consider this point before buying a Brussels Griffon!
Increased tearing, redness of the eyes, as well as frequent scratching of the ears (the dog rubs its head against furniture, shakes its head) is a serious reason to visit the veterinarian. Do the same if you notice redness and swelling of your dog’s gums.
As for the nutrition of the dog, then there are no special recommendations and preferences. The main thing is that food from our table that is useless for a dog is completely excluded. This is especially true for tubular and fish bones, sweets, smoked meats, fatty and salty foods. You also don’t need to overfeed your pet. This is not only an additional burden on his digestive system but also a serious risk of heart problems.

One of the reasons for this dependence on the Brussels Griffon lies in its sensitive nature. These dogs are not overly fearful or aggressive and are often quite self-righteous and spoiled when overly pampered. However, they need a constant and stable environment in order to feel good and be happy.
