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!

Golly (pictured here) is a smooth-coated, black Griffie. She's 13 years old and the inspiration and namesake of our small-dog boutique, Golly Gear.

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.

As good as it gets

For me ,it is emotionally deepest,greatest piece of art of American cinematography. The story of an obsessive-compulsive writer named Melvin Udall,the greatest cynic in NY who lives in a world that has shrunk to about the size of his apartment and the books he authors.And then he meets a woman who made him want to be a better man. One dog , one neighbor and one woman -things that changed his life. They are nothing special -- they are ordinary people we meet in the street every day and that have the same problems a lot of other people have and you cant predict anything that's going to happen because everything that happens to characters - happens because of what they are.Always look on the bright side of life.

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.

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.

Flipo Bed 

Your little dog will sleep in style in the nylon Flipo Bed. The cover can be zipped off easily and machine washed. The aluminum frame locks into place but folds to just 2 1/2 inches deep for easy storage, during the day when your small dog isn't sleepy! The bed is light weight and cushy but sturdy.

Our vet really likes the Flipo Bed since your little dog's body is supported but there are no pressure points.
