The Griffon Bruxellois is classified by The Royal Kennel Club within the smaller ageing band, typically weighing 3.5–6 kg as an adult. Originating in Brussels, this tiny breed is instantly recognisable for its flat face and expressive, almost human-like features, packed into a compact, wiry-coated frame with a bold, confident personality.
What this means for your Griffon Bruxellois
The breed's flat face means it can be prone to breathing difficulties in heat or during exercise, so care in warm weather matters throughout life. Dental crowding and patellar luxation (a slipping kneecap) are also worth discussing with your vet.
Because of the flat facial structure, keeping a close eye on breathing during exercise and hot weather becomes especially important as your Griffon Bruxellois ages.
When is a Griffon Bruxellois considered a senior?
Under The Royal Kennel Club's size-adjusted guidance, small breeds like the Griffon Bruxellois are generally considered senior from around 10 dog years old.
