Summary

About Brussels Griffon
Brussels Griffons are small, sturdy toy dogs with humanlike, bearded faces and large dark eyes. Deeply attached and “velcro-like,” they thrive on close company, gentle, reward-based training, and moderate daily exercise. Coats may be rough or smooth in rich red, black, or black and tan.
About Maremma Abruzzese Sheepdog
Large, white Italian livestock guardian, the Maremma Abruzzese Sheepdog is powerful, weather‑resistant and deeply loyal yet reserved with strangers. Independent, strong‑willed and highly watchful, it needs space, secure fencing, experienced handling and regular coat care to thrive.
