BRUSSELS GRIFFON 



Color: Red. 



Weight : Under 9 Ibs. 



This is a ladies' pet dog, very intelligent, sprightly, robust, of compact appearance, 

 and is peculiar for his quasi-human expression. His head is rounded, furnished with 

 hard, irregular hair, which is longer around the eyes and on the nose and cheeks. 

 The ears are erect when cropped, but not otherwise. The eyes are very large, black 

 and with long and black eye lashes, and the hair on his nose should grow upwards, 

 towards his pronounced stop. His chin should be prominent, but must not show the 

 teeth. The tail is erect and cut two-thirds of its length. 



There is no definite data as to this clog's precise origin, and though credit for his 

 conception belongs to Brussels, it is highly probable that he has been evolved by an 

 admixture of the Yorkshire Terrier, Irish Terrier and the Ruby Spaniel. His quaint- 

 ness and degree of dignity, altogether disproportionate to his size, account in a large 

 measure for the popular esteem in which he is held. 



TOY BRABANTINE 



The Toy Branbantine resembles the Brussels Griffon in every respect, except that 

 his coat is short and smooth and his color red, or black and tan.
