| Description |
This intelligent, energetic,
happy dog is for the family that loves to spoil their pets. They love
attention and to be with family. They generally do well with dogs and
other pets and do best with older or well behaved children. It is recommended
that the Brussels Griffon be socialized with people and animals at early
age to keep them from being fearful or aggressive. They have plenty of
energy and need some running time outside everyday. They love to play.
Can work well as an apartment dog provided they are given time to exercise
each day. |
