The Best Stuff For Brussels Griffons!
Ranked #8,488 in Pets & Animals, #214,174 overall
Griffies!
In the U.S. they're known as Brussels Griffons. Other parts of the world call them Griffon Bruxellois, Griffon Belge, or Petit Brabancon. (for the smooth-coated variety) By any name, Griffies are delightful, funny, determined, clever, stubborn little velcro-dogs. The background of the breed includes the Belgian stable-dog, the Pug, the Affenpinscher and the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. All have contributed traits that make Griffies delightful dogs, if not, perhaps, for first-time dog owners.
Griffs are, however, addictive. Each has a distinct, compelling personality that makes Griff owners want to meet them all!

A Brussels Griffon's most well-known Hollywood appearance
It's always a mixed blessing for any dog breed when it becomes famous. Everyone who loves the breed wants to share their beloved dogs with the world. The down side is the rush in popularity brings unscrupulous individuals out of the woodwork, looking to capitalize on that popularity. The movie "As Good As It Gets" was the first glimpse many had of Brussels Griffons. And they fell in love.
Puppia Soft Harness
The Soft Harness by Puppia is comfy and stylish. The front and collar portion is made of a cushy polyester air mesh that fits broadly across your dog's chest so he can walk comfortably and any pressure from the leash is distributed evenly across his neck and shoulders instead of at his neck! The mesh is edged in super-soft matching or contrasting velour. The chest portion is not adjustable, but the back strap is adjustable. The Soft Harness is available in five sizes and 12 colors, perfect for any Griff! Golly's favorite chewie toy!
N-Bones are natural, digestible chewy bones are shaped so that even the tiniest dog can find a corner to gnaw on! Your dog will feel like a mighty hunter as he chomps on one of these treats. Chewing is a wonderful dental aid, but so many little dogs don't get the chewing exercise they need. All-natural N-bones are just the answer. N-Bones are approximately 4 inches long. N-Bones come in a package of two of the same flavor, either Peanut Butter (Golly's favorite), Chicken or Barbeque. SofToss Toys
SofToss toys are made of genuine pigskin and sized perfectly for our little dogs! They're soft but durable for lots of play! Four different SofToss toys are available, the Fling, the Ball with Rope, the Football (Roc's favorite) and the Bone. Griffies!
Furminator
Maybe it's the Pug in the breed background, but smooth-coated Griffs shed - a lot! Golly doesn't much like getting brushed, but she doesn't mind her once-a-week Furminator session. It takes only minutes and reduces shedding - we're practically dust-bunny-free these days! Treat Stik
The TreatStik is a great way to put the interest back in your pup's mealtimes! Some little dogs need to be persuaded to eat, but many times that's because they're just bored. The TreatStik makes meals a fun game. When you put your dog's kibble in the TreatStik, roll it around on the floor so that a few pieces fall out of the small hole (3/4" long, 1/2" wide), she'll see how much fun it is to play! She'll get the hang of the TreatStik in no time and be eager for the game!Alternatively, it's a great toy! Just put a few pieces of kibble or a couple of treats in the TreatStik and your lazy dog will be chasing it all over the place once he figures out there's good stuff to be had! Journey, the Brussels Griffon, loves his - he knows there's a treat in there!
Bow Wow Beanies
We were really excited to learn about Ty's Bow Wow Beanies - made especially for dogs. There is no better quality of stuffed animal than those made by Ty. Bow Wow Beanies are equally well made. They hold up under the fiercest play. And, they crinkle and squeak! How much fun is that?! There are no beans in these Beanies, so no worries about little plastic pellets all over the house! And the features are sewn, not plastic. Quick-Fit Harness
The Quick-Fit Harness by EzyDog has everything - it's comfortable for your dog, easy to put on with a neoprene chest support so there's no pressure on your pup's neck. The chest strap is adjustable - just pull back the neoprene to reveal the velcro adjusting straps and adjust it so that the girth strap is 2 inches behind the front legs to prevent chafing. Griffs in action!
