Melbomb Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Me to! But i know nothing much about them. There is a thread for them in the Dog Breeds 101 section but no-one has written anything there yet. *waits paitently for replies* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biker girl Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 I dont know much about them either however years ago I knew even less about them when I was at a friend's house who bred pugs & also had a couple of griffons. I was about 14 & had never seen a Griffon & unfortunately said......."Scruffy pugs!!!" I was told quite curtly....THEY are Griffon Bruxellois!!!!!!!!

SwaY Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 We had one for around 6 months, he was to be a show dog. Unfortunatly he did not turn out and was pet homed. Lovely breed, Archer thought he was a Dane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

megan_ Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Sway - you area baaaad woman for posting those pictures. My biggest concern with a small, fast moving dog is other big dogs with a high prey drive. It is a problem with my current two - and they are mini schnauzers.

megan_ Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Is the long wait because you are wanting a show quality one? I'm going to ask the question that no one likes: what is the price range? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwaY Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 I always wondered what happened to Archer...They are very cute! You should have asked me! He went back to his breeder, who desexed him and pet homed him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwaY Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Such a cute and friendly breed. Eager to please, love being with people and full of spunk. Grooming is not for everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melbomb Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Archer looks adorable! I think i need to see one in the flesh! Do they bark a lot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwaY Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Archer was not a barker, others I have seen are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He went back to his breeder, who desexed him and pet homed him. Well I'd sort of forgotten about it til now but a while back I though about him but then got side tracked Can't wait for when you get the newbaby, monkey pics galore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melbomb Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Can't wait for when you get the newbaby, monkey pics galore They do look like monkeys kind of don't they! Either that or an Ewok! What kind of grooming do they need. Is it something the owner should do themselves or could you take it to a professional groomer and have them do it?

SwaY Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 (edited) What kind of grooming do they need. Is it something the owner should do themselves or could you take it to a professional groomer and have them do it? They are a coat that is hand stripped, I used to work on Archer's coat every day. I have heard of some pet people clipping the coat every few months. I guess you could take them to a professional, not sure many would know how to do it? They also come in a smooth coat.

Melbomb Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Thanks so much for taking the time to reply Sway! I am more and more intrigued! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwaY Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Your most welcome! You could just go to a show and hope to see some Griffon's, or look up some breeders and arrange to meet them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
