CITATION-

Images, I. A. (2015, August 23). Image from page 171 of "The new book of the dog; a comprehensive natural history of British dogs and their foreign relatives, with chapters on law, breeding, kennel management, and veterinary treatment" (1907).

I selected this image because I thought it would be very fitting in the history section of their wiki page. I think the image the photo is portraying is very fitting and "aged" in its appearance to enhance the section. I think since the photo dated back to 1907 it does sow this breed of dog has been around for a minute and it shows their variance in color and hair styles.

I found this image on Wikipedia Commons. It was so helpful and I was able to find a lot of options that were okay to used. All the other places had stricter license.

PART D-

The biggest question to me is how to get one. Places and certified places that cell them. I Also think since they're a purebred breed it would be nice to know their "social status" and conception level in the dogs shows.

Key terms:

buying a Griffon Bruxellois OR Griffon Belge OR Petit Barbancon

purchase Griffon Bruxellois OR Griffon Belge OR Petit Barbancon

dog show Griffon Bruxellois

dog show griffon belge

dog show petit barbancon

Looking up how to buy wasn't on a data base, it is just a search on google to buy the breed from certified breeders.

This cite is relevant because it tells you how the breed is on the come up. It is very hard to find innovation on this dog breed, since they bench off into three categories of dogs. I think this cite would be a good introduction into the topic of their competition in dogs shows. It show that they are a breed that is rising in popularity in general, and in enrollment in dogs shows. I decide this was a credible source because it has been posted in a text magazine. It looked to be all facts, no opinions.

Magazine, B. Animal Crackers.

I couldn't find anything else on Griffs in dogs shows on credible sources, but I did find some information about their historical back ground that I found super interesting:

http://www.godsgiftgoldenretrievers.com/InSession_2011_Issue1.pdf

This article talks about how their ears used to be cropped to help them kill off rats and other pest. It wasn't out of fashion trends, but a practical thing to help keep their pet successful in fighting them off and safe. It seemed like good thing to add into their historical hunting back ground, they were aiding in this was to do better. I think this cite is credible because it is posting an article on dogs and their facts/status from the American Kennel Association. It also seems to be a credible news article, the In Session AKC'S Congressional News Letter.

I would add the information about the Competitions After-

The breed has never been numerous or popular, but had a brief vogue in the late 1950s, and now is generally an uncommon breed. There has been a recent increase in interest in the United States due to the appearance of a Griffon in the movie, As Good as It Gets, and also because of a general increase in interest in toy dogs.

I would add: In fact, this breeds popularity increased 234% in the last decade.

I would have it end the history section on that note.

As for cropping their ears I would add this information after:

The three variations of this dog, the Brussels Griffon (Griffon Bruxellois), the Belgian Griffon (Griffon Belge), and the Petit Brabançon, all descend from an old type of dog called a Smousje, a rough coated, small terrier-like dog kept in stables to eliminate rodents, similar to the Dutch Smoushond.

I would add: To help them be successful in their exterminations, the dog would sometimes have their ears cropped by their owned. By doing this it helped to keep the dogs ears out of their way when fighting other animals. It printed them from getting hurt and disease.

add before: The little wire-haired dog in the foreground of the Jan van Eyck painting The Arnolfini Marriage is thought to be an early form of this breed. In Belgium coachmen were fond of their alert little Griffons d’Ecurie (wiry coated stable dogs) and in the 19th century, they bred their Griffons with imported toy dogs

PART C- WIKIPEDIA

The Griffon Bruxellois is known to have a huge heart, and a strong desire to snuggle and be with its master. They display a visible air of self-importance. A Griffon should not be shy or aggressive, but they are very emotionally sensitive, and because of this, should be socialized carefully at a young age. Griffons should also be alert, inquisitive and interested in their surroundings.

Griffons tend to bond with one human more than others. In fact, Griffons are very good with children provided they are not teased. They are not very patient but do love to play. Griffons tend to get along well with other animals in the house, including cats, ferrets, and other dogs. However, they can get into trouble because they have no concept of their own relative size and may attempt to dominate dogs much larger than themselves. They also have very big personalties.

This is a secondary source. It has taken general information and collectively applied it to create a small bio for the dogs personality type. This seems like more of a popular and informative source to me. I can see why this section needed citations, it was very hard to find just this one. I think the best way from me to find citations moving forward will be with popular sources. I think this cite is important to used because it talks also about their size and what to expect with them.

The three variations of this dog: the Brussels Griffon (Griffon Bruxellois), the Belgian Griffon (Griffon Belge), and the Petit Brabançon, all descend from an old type of dog called a Smousje, a rough coated, small terrier-like dog kept in stables to eliminate rodents,[1] similar to the Dutch Smoushond. The little wire-haired dog in the foreground of the Jan van Eyck painting The Arnolfini Marriage is thought to be an early form of this breed. In Belgium coachmen were fond of their alert little Griffons d’Ecurie (wiry coated stable dogs), and in the 19th century, they bred their Griffons with imported toy dogs. Breeding amongst the Pug and King Charles Spaniel brought about the current breed type, in addition to the short black coat that led to the Petits Brabançon, which was originally a fault in the breed. The spaniels also brought the rich red, black, and tan colour of the modern Griffon Bruxellois and Griffon Belge.[2]

The Griffon Bruxellois grew in popularity in the late 19th century with both workers and noblemen in Belgium. The first Griffon Bruxellois was registered in 1883 in the first volume Belgium's kennel club studbook, the Livre des Origines Saint-Hubert (LOSH).[1] The popularity of the breed was increased by the interest of Queen Marie Henriette, a dog enthusiast who visited the annual dog shows in Belgium religiously, often with her daughter, and became a breeder and booster of Griffon Bruxellois. Queen Marie Henriettes interest helped the bread to gain international fame and popularity. Many dogs were exported to other countries, leading to Griffon Bruxellois clubs in England (1897)[3] and Brussels Griffon clubs in the U.S. (1945.)[4]

The First World War and Second World War proved to be a disastrous time for the breed. War time is difficult on any dog breed, and the recovering numbers after the First World War were set back by increased vigilance in breeding away from faults such as webbed toes, possessed by the Griffon. By the end of the Second World War, Belgium had almost no native Griffon Bruxellois left, and it was only through the vigilance of dedicated breeders (in the U.K. particularly) that the breed survived at all.Copy Edit an Article:

Griffon Bruxellois- Griffon Bruxellois

The Brussels Griffon is typically a small breed with a sturdy frame. The average adult Griffon stands from 9 to 11 inches (230–280 mm) tall, and weighs 8 to 10 pounds (4–5 kg). They have domed heads, short noses, and an underbite. Their human-like facial features are often compared to that of an Ewok. (link worked correctly)

The Griffon comes in two coat variants, wiry/rough and smooth coat. Their hair (not fur) can be red, black and tan, or black and reddish in color. The short hair Griffon requires little grooming while the wiry/rough coat Griffon requires weekly grooming attention.

The Griffon Bruxellois is known to have a huge heart, and a strong desire to snuggle and be with its master. They display a visible air of self-importance. A Griffon is not typically shy or aggressive, but they are very emotionally sensitive, and because of this, should be socialized carefully at a young age. Griffons should also be alert, inquisitive,(inserted comma) and interested in their surroundings.

Griffons tend to bond with one human more than others. In fact, Griffons are very good with children provided they are not teased. They are not very patient but do love to play. Griffons tend to get along well with other animals in the house, including cats, ferrets, and other dogs. However, they can get into trouble because they have no concept of their own relative size and may attempt to dominate dogs much larger than themselves.
