Brussels Griffon Forum:
Griffon and Cats

I am considering a Griffon puppy and have two questions. I have 5 cats and wondered if anyone had experience with the Griffon and cats. Also, Ive heard Griffons can be difficult to housebreak. True? Thanks. Sheree

I have a Griffon and also have two cats...I had one of the cats when our Griffon was introduced to the household at the age of 7 months..the cat is bigger than he is and the cat pretty much stands his ground..our dog is always wrestling around with the cat and the cat never runs away..the other cat is another story..she arrived on the scene after we had the dog a few years and he constantly chases her and of course she runs...it also is impossible for me to give either of the cats any kind of attention without the dog giving the cats a hard time...however, this only happens when I give the cats attention...he doesnt mind if my husband or daughter pay attention to the cats..he pretty much is a one person dog and I am that person..good luck whatever you decide
