Frequently Asked Questions
How much grooming does a Brussels Griffon need?
Brussels Griffons require regular grooming. If they have a rough coat, they need to be hand-stripped or brushed several times a week to prevent matting. Smooth-coated Griffons need less grooming but still benefit from regular brushing to maintain coat health.
How long do Brussels Griffons live?
Brussels Griffons typically live between 12 to 15 years, making them a relatively long-lived breed. With proper care, including a healthy diet, regular exercise, and routine veterinary check-ups, they can live a full and healthy life.
Do Brussels Griffons require a lot of exercise?
While they are active, Brussels Griffons do not require intense exercise. A moderate daily walk and some playtime are typically sufficient to keep them happy and healthy. They are more suited for apartment living as long as they get regular mental and physical stimulation.
