It's a nice book, well printed with good pictures. Has good basic info about the Griffons. I get dissapionted with the training section. This section is for general dogs, not special for the Griffons. I think if you want general info (you don't know anyhing)about this dog you can by the book, but if you look just how you train your Griffon or want very deep info, don't buy it.

This book will do very little to help you understand the Brussels Griffon. There are only a few pages about Griffs. The rest is about any kind of dog, and Griffs are not like other dogs. They have many unusual traits. Save your money and buy a book that is really about Griffs. The only one I know of is Doone Raynham's.

I thought this book was a wonderful guide to the breed; the last 1/2 of the book consists of standard guidelines applicable to any breed. The first half has beautiful pictures of representatives of the breed and gives forth knowledge of their specific personalities. I especially love the dog on the cover of the book.

This is another book that I send out to new Griffon owners,it provides alot of info about the breed that new owners need to know about,very inexpensive book with alot of info,I'm impressed with it.

If you are thinking about getting a Griffon, this book is a good starting point, but shouldn't be your only resource. Most of the book is general information for any breed. The first 72 pages are devoted to the breed and the rest of the book to general basics of training and integrating a dog into your life. The book does cover temperament and suitability of the breed better than some other generalist books. The Griffon is like having a permanent two year old--highly intelligent, manipulative, and well--cute! As an experienced dog owner with another breed, I would suggest using this book to find out whether or not you are tempermentally suited to this breed whether it is a puppy, an adult, or a rescue and then visiting dog shows and talking with breeders and owners to finalize your decision to add one to your life! Even if you don't end up feeling you are suited to be a Griffon's companion, you'll find the cute pictures of the Griffon worth the purchase price!
