Meet the Brussels Griffon: a toy breed that has been celebrated on the Continent for over 500 years, captured in the portraits of the great European masters and prized by ladies of culture for his cheeky expressions and clever ways. Today the monkey-faced street urchin turned Belgian specialty is beloved by ladies and gentlemen alike. Whether clad in his traditional wiry coat or in its smooth coat, referred to as the Petit Brabaçon, the Brussels Griffon has enjoyed a faithful following in the US for over a hundred years. By no means one of America’s most popular toy breeds, the Brussels Griffon attracts a most distinguishing fancy who have acquired a taste for this comical, often devilish, always engaging canine. This Comprehensive Owner’s Guide details the Brussels Griffon’s origins in Europe as well as the breed’s history in the United States, a chronicle that will be welcomed by newcomers and seasoned Griffon folk alike. Author Juliette Cunliffe, a toy breed expert, provides insightful chapters about the breed’s characteristics and breed standard, painting a masterful portrait of this unique companion breed. A special chapter on house-training and obedience training the Griffon proves insightful, helpful and reliable. Additionally, in a lavishly illustrated chapter on preventive healthcare, renowned veterinarian Dr. Lowell Ackerman addresses all of the concerns of the responsible owner, from selecting a great vet to controlling parasites and the major infectious diseases. From the first days with the new puppy in the owner’s home to the special care for a senior dog, this new volume will prove an invaluable addition to every Griffon lover’s library.

As you may already know, finding information regarding Brussels Griffon's is slim to none. This book however, is excellent. It contains everything you need to know about the breed. From the history of the breed, training, habits, to common diseases, this book doesn't miss anything. I highly recommend it.

This review is from: Brussels Griffon (Comprehensive Owners Guide) (Hardcover)
VERY HELPFUL BOOK. DISCUSSES PURCHASING AN OLDER GRIFF OR PUPPY. AS TITLE STATES IT IS COMPREHENSIVE. IF YOU ONLY OWN ONE BOOK IT SHOULD BE THIS.
