Brussels Griffon
The Brussels Griffon is a small but sturdy toy breed from Belgium, known for its almost human-like expression created by their large, prominent eyes, rounded head, and fringe of fur around the face. Curious and alert, they are intensely loyal to a single person but can be sensitive. Griffons are lively, charming companions for adults and older children.
