The Brussels Griffon's pout gives him an almost human expression. To some viewers he resembles a miniature Boxer. The Griffon is an intelligent cheerful dog with a terrier-like disposition. With lots of personality, they make a fine companion dog. It is affectionate, willful and high-strung, but charming. Lively and curious, they love everyone, but can get quite moody. Unusually sensitive and quite demanding, this breed loves to be spoiled. It must be raised in the house with the family. The Griffon is good with other dogs and even with cats.
