The Brussels Griffon had it's start as a "ratter".  They were bred for and used in stables to keep down the rat population and also as stable guard dogs in Brussels, Belgium.    The Brussels Griffon, also called the "Griffon Bruxellouis," is lively, alert, mischievous, and fearless, making for a very smart, expressive, delightful, and often amusing pet.
Part of the Griffon's ancestry includes the Affenpincher, pug and various Terriers.    Two coat types are found: the rough coat is the most common, and a smooth coated form also referred to as the "Petit Brabancon".

From a Happy Brussels Griffon owner:
    I bought a Brussels Griffon for my fiancée last Christmas.  I looked at many different options, especially locally.  At first I was concerned about having the puppy shipped via airplane. I talked to Terry about it a few times and she ensured me that Pet Air were very professional and it was a completely safe process for Buffy.  I went ahead and purchased Buffy via PayPal and everything went extremely smooth...from the day I paid, to today!
    Courtney and I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND buying a Brussels Griffon from Terry & Dennis.  We absolutely LOVE Buffy.  She has the best personality in the world.  She doesn't yip, she's sweet, she snuggles and sleeps through the night, she's great on road trips in the car, she has flown to New York and back with us twice this year (and she gets to fly in the cabin with us because she's <20 lbs).  Sometimes we just call Terry out of the blue to thank her for Buffy, she's that great. 

    I've always been a big dog guy, but I would never get another dog unless it was a Brussels.  I really believe that by Terry & Dennis raising the puppies around kids and other dogs has been extremely helpful too.  Buffy isn't scared of other dogs or kids, which is great considering we have 8 nieces and nephews.   Sincerely, Andrew & Courtney

UPDATE:    Buffy has a new brother. I was able to go to Washington State and meet Andrew and Courtney and see Buffy for the fist time since she went to leave with her new family as a 10 week old puppy.  I took Buffy's new brother to his new family. It's not often that I get to meet one of my "puppy families" when the puppy has been shipped, so this was something I very much enjoyed!

Another Happy Griffon owner:

 HAPPY HOLIDAYS, MARILYN VELEZ

All my puppies come with a health guarantee, shot record, puppy instructions, puppy papers (registration will be either AKC, APR, or ACA ),   and at least, one, and most of the time 2 "healthy puppy" vet checks.  They will be loving and well socialized with people, other dogs, and usually with my cats who seem to think they are also dogs.  Deposits are non refundable unless there is a problem with the health of the puppy.
 A deposit might be able to be transferred to a future puppy if given plenty of notice.
 

My puppies are sold with the limited registration with a spay or neuter agreement unless special permission is given. I never give breeding rights with very small females who are 6 lbs or under, full grown. Corresponding with you concerning your family and how the puppy will fit into your home is very important to me.
Thanks, Terry




Griffons normally get along very well with other animals.
Here is Gus with his new brother.
Thanks Jen and Eric for the picture! It's great!

 

Many people have questions concerning the looks of a smooth coat Griffon. Pictured below are two pictures of what a smooth coat Griffon looks like. You can tell that they are very different in looks then the rough coat Griffon. The smooth coat Griffons will actually be in the same litter as rough coat babies. It is around 4 weeks old before the coat style can really be seen. They both have great temperaments! They both do well with families and other pets. It seems for some reason that my smooth coat babies have a little funnier "personality" then the rough coat, but they all very enjoyable, personable, expressive little dogs.

I use Nutri-Source small breed puppy food for my puppies.
I would highly suggest that you stay with this food for your puppies first 8 months.
You can go to http://www.nutrisourcedogfood.com/ to see where you can buy the puppy food in your location or you can order it online from their web site.


Shipping:

Shipping by Air is done with Pet Air. They are a company that specializes in just shipping pets.The reason that I use Pet Air rather then making my own shipping arrangements is that I have found that a company like Pet Air as compared to an individual can better get the airlines to do the best for the puppy. Sorry to say, many airlines are not courteous or helpful to an individual, but they will help a company who has the options of pulling much more business from them should they decide that the airline is not helpful with the shipping of pets.  If there are plane cancellations, delays, or changes that need to be made, Pet Air has the resources to make these changes quicker and easier then an individual might have.

Shipping is $300 which includes the airfare, Pet Air's fare, the special crate needed, the cost of mailing the papers for the puppy, and other misc. cost associated with shipping the puppy.

The timing for when I let the puppy go by shipping will be based on the age, breed, and size of the puppy. Weather plays a big part in the air shipping of a puppy. There may be times in mid summer or mid winter when the shipping is changed or delayed due to bad or extreme weather.  Pet Air does what ever needs to be done to best assure the safety of the puppy.
I will try to accommodate you the best I can with the shipping, but the overall decision  when to ship the puppy will be my decision based on the health, safety, and best interest of the puppy.

Crate Training:
Crate training can be great for teaching your puppy to sleep in a crate at night or to use for very small periods of time during the day. But PLEASE do not put your puppy in a crate all day while you are at work, only to let him out for a few house in the afternoon and evening, then put him or her back in the crate for all night.  Even if you are able to take your dog out of the crate once or twice a day during the day, this is not the proper place for your  puppy or dog to spend the majority of their daytime hours. We would not like to be locked in a room with just enough room to move around in and sleep in for the majority of each 24 hour period. Our puppies and dogs don't like that much either. Knowing how much puppies and dogs like to play and need room to play, I feel that this can be very cruel to a puppy or dog. I will not knowingly sell a puppy to someone who plans on using a crate both day and night for their young puppy or older dog.

I suggest using a baby gate and gating off an area such as a large bathroom or a utility room in order to give the puppy limited space while allowing the puppy to have room to play, toys to play with an open crate with bedding for sleeping (the front gate off the crate) and puppy pads, a doggie litter box, or my preference, newspapers, in case the puppy HAS TO GO before someone lets him or her outside. Some puppies (just like children) take time to learn to "hold" it until "mom or dad" comes to take them out.  There are also very nice puppy playpens for dogs that also give more room for play while keeping them in a relatively small small area. The ex-pen pictured here can be purchased at: www.dog.com

Brussels Griffons, especially, should not be kept in a crate for long periods of time during the day. They HAVE to have room to run and play as they are such high energy little dogs. You will have a puppy that will misbehave if you keep them in a crate all day on giving them minimum attention in the late afternoons or at night before putting them in a crate again.  This misbehavior will come out in many ways, but the most common way is to soil anything that they can that will upset you and give them attention, even if it is negative attention. For those of you who have children, maybe you can relate to this idea that if a child does not have positive attention, they would rather have negative attention then no attention. Puppies are also very much this way.  For those of you who don't have children, this is a vital lesson to learn if you are planning on a family someday! Teaching a puppy is surprisingly like teaching a child.
