Meet the breeder
I'm Shannon C., the breeder behind Griffs & Giggles Ranch - The Cortez Family located in Yucaipa, CA. At our farm, we proudly raise high-quality AKC-registered Brussels Griffons focusing on health, temperament, and socialization. Our puppies are lovingly raised in a farm environment and are well socialized with other dogs and farm animals. This early exposure ensures they grow to be confident, friendly, and well-adjusted. If you're looking for a loyal lap dog or a playful new family member, please feel free to reach out.
Q. & A. with Shannon
Why did you start breeding?
Animals have always been a part of my life. Growing up with horses and various dog breeds taught me the value of connection, care, and responsibility. But Brussels Griffons truly spoke to my heart. What began as love for the breed soon became a commitment to preserve and improve it - always with ethics, care, and the well-being of the Griffon at the center of everything I do.What makes your program special?
My breeding program focuses on quality over quantity, health, temperament, and early socialization. Raised in my home, my Brussels Griffons are loved from day one. Each pairing is carefully planned, and I support every family for life. I breed with purpose, passion, and a deep respect for this incredible breed.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black, red, and belge. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

+6Our hearts can hardly take it! From start to finish the experience was incredible. Lovely family, and so many cute puppies to choose from. We received shot records, a goodie basket with so many thoughtful and useful things, and most of all, the Cortez family overall were just lovely humans. So thankful for their hard work in curating an experience for Griff lovers looking for a puppy.

Shannon and her husband were absolutely amazing. They answered every question I had and concerns. They were very professional and loving dog owners. I found the perfect dog, and my husband and I could not be happier. The process was so easy, and I highly recommend them. 😊❤️

+5Shannon and her Husband were basically a dream upon arriving and that’s before we even saw her very own Brussels and then the litter. If you are looking for a safe place to find a fur baby and from a true family home/ranch this is the place. We not only left with Harvey but we also left with a care package of what we needed until we went shopping (which of course we already did). The dogs and puppies are all loved at their home and it shows. You can tell a lot about who you are getting a puppy from by how they interact with their owners. I’ve waited a decade for a Brussels Griffon and our family is now whole.
