Arrival Story:
Fraggle was the third Brussels Griffon that we found to join the family. Upon deciding to send his sister Puma back to the breeder due to her ailing health, we stumbled onto Fraggle at a pet store. We didn't intend to replace Puma...but by fluke, he turned out to be the littermate of our first dog Pisces! Since it was Pisces' brother...we just had to take him home too. Poor little guy, he had been in the pet store for much too long (about a month and a half longer than his brother). His hair was falling out, he had really bad skin (almost bald), and his back legs were slightly deformed from being in an enclosed space for too long. We just had to take him home and get his health up to speed with his brother.

Bio:
Fraggle was named after the Jim Henson Muppet series "Fraggle Rock." His gangly legs and funny hair resembled those of the little creatures called "Fraggles" on the show. Within about a month of having Fraggle, his legs got much better and his fur grew back in quite nicely. He now has better fur than Puma and Pisces. Fraggle is a sensitive, and sometimes nervous dog. He quite often gets picked on by his brother and sister...He is by far the most affectionate, and loving dog out of the three Brussels Griffons we have. He is quite bright and very quick to pick up new tricks. We call him the supermodel because he is oh so handsome and has a slim, trim build. We're so glad we found him!
