Are Brussels Griffon Dogs Playful Dogs?

One of the things we adore about dogs is their playfulness. Some breeds are usually more playful than others.

So, in the spirit of a good time, we combed through our breed profiles to find the canine breeds that tend to be the most enjoyable loving. It's necessary to keep in mind that most of these breeds are not couch potatoes or shrinking violets and, in fact, usually need lots of mental and physical stimulation so they don't become bored.

You should remember that all dogs are individuals - not all Labs are infatuated with playing fetch, and there are probably even some Portuguese Water Dogs who don't like water.

Of course, with any of these breeds, a dog's health and age will influence his level of liveliness. So even with these breeds, you should have a vet examine your dog to make sure there are no underlying conditions before initiating any exuberant activities.
