The Brussels Griffon, also commonly known as the Griffon Bruxellois, is a breed of toy dog that was named after its city of origin Brussels, Belgium. The breed descends from an ancient dog type names the 'Smousje.' The 'Smousje' was a small, rough coated terrier-like dog that was kept in stables to catch and kill rodents. In the 19th the Brussels Griffon was bred with other toy dog breeds that were imported from around the world. The modern Brussels Griffon's appearance is mainly due to it being crossbred with the Pug and King Charles Spaniel. The Brussels Griffon nearly went extinct during the first and second World Wars. But thanks to a small dedicated group of breeders (mainly located in the United Kingdom), the Brussels Griffon managed to survive. As a whole, the Brussels Griffon is known to be highly affectionate and loyal towards their owner. However the breed is somewhat dismissive of strangers, children and other pets as they would rather spend their time in the company of their owner. The breed is known to be highly sensitive and emotional and it is therefore every important to socialize your Brussels Griffon at a young age.
