Personality
The Brussels Griffon is known to have a huge heart, and a strong desire for physical contact and companionship with their master. They display a visible air of self-importance. A Griffon should not be shy or aggressive. However, they are very emotionally sensitive and because of this they should be socialized carefully at a young age. Griffons should also be alert, inquisitive and interested in their surroundings.
Brussels Griffons as Pets
Griffons tend to bond with one human more than others. This, along with their small size, may make them unsuitable as a family pet, especially for a family with very small children. Griffons tend to get along well with other animals in the house, including cats, ferrets and other dogs. However, they can get into trouble because they have no concept of their own relative size and may attempt to dominate dogs much larger than themselves.
