Brussels Griffons were developed from the Affenpinscher and a type of dog commonly known as the Belgium Street Dog. Brussels Griffons, both male and female, should weigh 12 pounds or below. Their coats, which may be rough or smooth, come in beige, black, black and tan, and reddish brown. Brussels Griffons are intelligent, alert, and energetic. They are affectionate and bond tightly with their families. Brussels’ winning personalities and almost human-like facial expressions endear them to many people.
