    How To Find a Dog With a Good Temperament

    Selecting a dog can be both exciting and perplexing. But the one thing we all want to know is how our new dog's character will reveal itself.

    Finding out why a breed was created, and the country and climate it initially came from, can help you understand what to expect in terms of behaviour and temperament.

    Some breeds demand much more attention than others. A breed's true temperament can also require time to cultivate: the boxer's extrovert and playful nature means it takes longer to mature than other breeds.

    The puppies of certain breeds could be very hard work in the early weeks but can make wonderful adult dogs.

    • Gun dog
    • Toy dog

Brussels Griffon Temperament Personality

Brussels Griffon Information

The Brussels griffon is square-proportioned, thickset and compact. It has good bone for its size. Its movement is a purposeful trot, with moderate reach and drive. In temperament it is full of self-importance, and its carriage reflects this attitude. Its almost human expression attracts attention and admirers. Its coat can be rough, with hard wiry hair — which is longer around the head — or smooth, with a short glossy coat.

The spunky Brussels griffon is full of itself, brimming with self-confidence and gusto. It is bold, playful, stubborn and mischievous. It is usually good with other dogs and pets. It tends to bark and climb, and some Brussels griffons can be escape artists. This breed makes a saucy companion for a family wanting an entertaining, sensitive pet.
