As featured in the movie "As good as it gets" starring Jack Nicholson. The Brussels Griffon is a small toy dog, usually weighing between 5-15 pounds. He comes in two coats, a smooth coat like a Pug or a Boxer and a rough coat like a Schnauzer. He comes in 4 colors: red which can be from buff color to deep mahogany, beige which has black hairs mixed in with red, solid black and black with tan points. The tail is usually docked short. The most distinguishing feature of this breed is the face. He has a short muzzle with the nose placed high between the eyes. The eyes are large and appealing. Many people see the dog's expression as almost human.. General grooming is expected, combing their coats at least once a week. BG's are extremely intelligent and very loyal. They are smarter than a whip, are fantastic family pets. Are big enough to go anywhere you go. This is the perfect pet for a family. I love the BG's because they are such loyal and fantastic characters. They aren't just another dog.
