We’ve had Brussels Griffons for decades – more than we’d like to admit. We fell in love with the breed as little girls at the International Kennel Club show at the old Amphitheater in Chicago and many years later discovered that the wonderful lady who allowed us to pet her dogs and ask a million questions as kids had actually become a friend in adulthood. It truly is a very small world when you’re a “dog person.”
One of the things that first attracted us, was, of course, the looks of Griffs. They’re called “pansy-face” dogs because the folded ears, mustache and beard mimic the petals of the flower. One of my very favorite flowers in the world, I was naturally attracted to living pansies!
This morning, with our pots of pansies in bloom, I tried to get a picture of Tango next to the flowers. It sort of worked – if you can disregard Torque trying to eat them, Teddy sniffing them, and Booker just being generally nosy.
Can you see the resemblance?
