Guest Anonymous Posted March 23, 2003 Posted March 23, 2003 Does anyone know the breed of the dogs that were on the movie Sweet November? It was also on the movie As Good As It Gets. I just love the looks of that dog and I wanted to know what breed he is so I can try to find one to purchase. Thank you for your help! Please email me if you know.

Horsefeathers! Posted March 23, 2003 Posted March 23, 2003 I don't know about the other movie, but "As Good As It Gets" had a Brussels Griffon (if I'm thinking about the right movie... Jack Nicholson?). I hope you do a bit more research on the breed before deciding for sure that this is what you want. Cute isn't everything and many a dog has ended up in a shelter because someone saw them in a movie, decided they were cute, took one home and THEN realized it wasn't the right breed for them. Please learn something about the breed before deciding you want one. Quote
courtnek Posted March 23, 2003 Posted March 23, 2003 Holly, check out this site: http://www.brussels-griffon.net/brdinfo.html also, be aware that a Brussels Griffon needs ALOT of attention and to be with his owner constantly. They are not a dog for someone who has little time for a dog. They bond to their masters and follow them around like Shadows. Please do as HF suggested and check the breed out before deciding to purchase. This site is the Nat'l Brussels Griffon site with links to the AKC Quote
DogPaddle Posted March 23, 2003 Posted March 23, 2003 Info summed up from animal planet: Brussels Griffon used to be a gaurd dog for carriages, they are very confident or full of themselves and have lots of gusto - they may be a challange for inexperienced handlers. Can be described as spunky, saucy, bold, playful, sensitive and mischevious. Usually good with other dogs or other pets. Is a barker and a climber and may be an escape dog. An active breed, needs action. It needs daily mental and physical stimulation, stimulation possible with a robust indoor game. It also enjoys a short walk on leash. Cannot live outside, although time in a yard is good. Needs combing two or three times weekly, plus shaping by stripping every three months. Also: Energy level 4/5 Playfulness 4/5 Affection 4/5 Freindliness to strangers, other dogs, owners etc 3/5 Trainability 3/5 See animal planet for more info but sounds like a dog that would would lots of time and play and dedication to obedience training.

Guest Anonymous Posted March 27, 2003 Posted March 27, 2003 Thank you all for your information. I did do some research on the Brussels Griffon. You are right they do seem like a lot of work. I enjoy dogs that need a lot of attention and have a lot of energy though. I am not looking to purchase one right away though because I have a child on the way......but some time in the future. At least now I know the name of one of the dogs I am interested in. Thanks again for your help and input! :lol: Holly Quote
