The Brussels Griffon is a toy breed of dog. They are quite small.

Weighing in at the 8-10 lb. range. That is smaller than cats I have had.

Their wiry coat gives the Brussels Griffon a distinct look to match its personality.

The way the wiry hair protrudes from its face is definitely a look.

One thing I enjoy about photographing smaller breeds of dogs is that it can be easier to capture photographs of the dogs and their humans interacting.

I love this photo of a Brussels Griffon being held by their handler and having their head scratched. They both look so happy.
