How big do Brussels Griffons get?

What is the difference between rough and smooth Brussels Griffons?
Rough-coated Brussels Griffons (Griffon Bruxellois) have a wiry, dense coat with distinctive facial furnishings including a beard and eyebrows. Smooth-coated Griffons (Petit Brabançon) have a short, glossy coat without facial hair. Both types come in the same colours and have identical temperaments.
Are Brussels Griffons good family dogs?
Brussels Griffons are best suited to adults or families with older, gentle children. They bond intensely with one person and can be sensitive to rough handling. They are wonderful companions for those who appreciate their expressive, velcro-dog nature and can give them the attention they crave.
What colours do Brussels Griffons come in?
Brussels Griffons come in four colours: red (the most common, ranging from reddish-brown to auburn), belge (a mix of red-brown and black), black, and black and tan. Red rough-coated Griffons are the most iconic variety. Smooth-coated Griffons (Petit Brabançon) come in the same colours.
Do Brussels Griffons have health issues?
Brussels Griffons are generally healthy but can be prone to brachycephalic issues due to their flat faces, including breathing difficulties in extreme heat. Other concerns include eye problems (due to their prominent eyes), patellar luxation, and hip dysplasia. Working with a reputable breeder who health-tests is important.
