Please keep this reference guide handy in the event you

come across a possible Brussels Griffon in need.

National Brussels Griffon Rescue, IncNBGR is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization formed to rescue Brussels

Griffons which have been abandoned, lost, or abused. Our only source

of funding comes from private donations. All contributions to NBGR are

fully tax-deductible. The objective of NBGR is to spay or neuter and

place rescued dogs in qualified pet homes. To help you identify this

breed, please refer to the following description and pictures.”

Breed DescriptionThe Brussels Griffon is a small toy dog weighing between 5 - 15 pounds.

He comes in two coats, a smooth coat like a Pug, and a rough coat like a

Schnauzer. He comes in four colors. Red which can be from buff color to

deep mahogany, belge which has black hairs mixed in with red, solid

black and black with tan points. The ears may be cropped or uncropped

of various size and shape. 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 in good specimens and the

nose is lower set on dogs of lesser quality. The eyes are large and

appealing. Many people see the dog’s expression as almost human

while others think he looks monkey-like. An ungroomed rough coat may

be quite hairy, matted and look very unkept.
