PETIT BRABANÇON - Popular Dog Breed

Complete Guide to the Petit Brabançon

The Petit Brabançon is the smooth-coated variety of the Belgian Griffon breeds. Structurally identical to the Bruxellois and Belge, they possess a sleek, short coat that highlights their comical, pushed-in face and large, expressive eyes. They are highly energetic and deeply devoted.

Temperament and Care

The Petit Brabançon is incredibly affectionate, highly intelligent, and famously clingy. They require constant human companionship and suffer from severe separation anxiety if left alone. Because of their short coat, they are incredibly easy to groom, requiring only a quick weekly brush. However, their flat faces make them highly sensitive to extreme heat.

• Pros: Extremely low grooming needs, deeply affectionate, and perfect for apartments.
