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.

Litter update on 17 July •…Good morning! Just some updated Reggie photos for you, cuteness overload! He loves sleeping under the blankets, rides in the car, walking the yard with his 105 year old tortoise brother Leroy, and cuddling his Great Dane brother Homer. He also loves strawberries, so he actively goes out to my garden for a snack when he can. And of course if you couldn’t tell he’s rotten and the absolutely light of my life. 🥰 He’s having a birthday party in August too! 🤣Hope you all are well!

Litter update on 17 July •…Hi!!! Oh my goodness, I am so sorry I haven't texted you! I swear every time we take a picture of little Munch, I think, "I need to text Shannon and then Munch starts jumping for joy and sits on my lap with his head on my phone so he gets full attention😂 We love him so much, and we truly can't thank you enough for bringing so much joy into our lives. He is the absolute best dog! We've brought him to family cookouts, and he's amazing with the kids. He loves all of the other dogs in our family, as well as the dogs in the neighborhood. He's honestly a little showstopper on our walks—people are constantly stopping us to ask what breed he is and where we got him. Everyone absolutely loves him! He's fully potty trained, knows how to sit for treats, and even sits politely when he's playing. We just taught him a little dance move—the cha-cha! I'll have to send you a video. He's been to the vet twice, and he's perfectly healthy. Everyone there absolutely adores him. We also took him to the groomer, and the groomer was completely obsessed with him! He loves Brussels Griffons and said Munch should be a little dog model. The only time Munch barks in the house is when I'm home alone and someone comes to the door, which is perfect because I have my own little security dog! He loves car rides, so we got him a little seatbelt. We even bought him a life vest because we're planning to take him paddleboarding next weekend! We've been soaking up every moment with him on the Cape and couldn't love him more. It's been so amazing. I knew everyone would love him, but people constantly comment on what a good, sweet, and lovable dog he is—which is exactly what we were hoping for. Munch is so affectionate. He'll happily let other people hold him and will even fall asleep right in their arms. He's such a little love. I am so, so sorry this update took me so long, but I promise I'll do a better job of texting! Here are some updated pictures of Munch! We always tell people that we got him from the most wonderful humans, and we just knew he was going to be perfect. We truly can't thank you enough for bringing so much happiness into our lives. 🤍 We hope you and Anthony are doing amazing🤍🤍🤍☀️ Sent from my iPhone

About Malani
Meet Malani 🤎 Malani is the definition of a Brussels Griffon. Sweet, endlessly loyal, and happiest when she’s by my side, she’s the ultimate Velcro dog. If I’m sitting down, she’s already curled up in my lap, convinced that personal space is completely overrated. She’s gentle, affectionate, and lives for cuddle time, but one of her funniest quirks is her love of TV. Whether it’s animals on the screen or just her favorite show playing in the background, she’s completely captivated and will happily watch right alongside us. Malani has a way of stealing hearts without even trying. Her loving personality, unwavering devotion, and adorable little habits make her one of my absolute favorites. She’s proof that the biggest hearts really do come in the smallest packages. This litter will be small and incredibly special! Both of these parents have the sweetest, most loving personalities of all our dogs. They are affectionate, loyal, devoted, and the true definition of Velcro dogs. We genuinely believe these puppies will be a once-in-a-lifetime litter, inheriting the exceptional temperaments that make their parents so unforgettable. If you're looking for a Brussels Griffon with an unmatched disposition, this is the litter to watch. Our reputation speaks for itself and is reflected in every puppy we bring into this world. We are committed to producing healthy, well-socialized Brussels Griffons with outstanding temperaments, and we're incredibly proud of the feedback we receive from our puppy families. We couldn't be more excited to share this very special litter with you!

Awesome experience with Shannon from Griffs & Giggles Ranch from start to finish! From our first call with Shannon and her husband they were warm, friendly and we could feel and hear they loved the breed. Shannon answered all our questions, showed us live video of the dogs playing. She also sent us video's as our day approached to meet our new puppy. We could see the dogs were born into a loving environment with room to roam, explore and exposure to other animals on the ranch. All of these qualities make a difference in the overall health and happiness of the dogs. We traveled from Oregon to California for our little guy we now call Finley. Shannon & her husband met us on time and had us all prepared for our trip back home. Finley had his own travel bag with food, toys, treats, potty pads, shot records and documents. The Cortez's were warm, friendly and welcoming. Finley is a very happy, healthly and well adjusted little guy. We are thankful to the Cortez family for giving Finley a good start in life. We will be forever thankful to them for a wonderful experience. We are blessed to have found such wonderful breeders that truly love there dogs. If you are looking for a Brussel Griffon this is definently the place to go. Thank you, Megan and Dean Ballew

+4Shannon brought so much joy into our lives! From the very beginning, she was incredibly responsive, kind, and so knowledgeable about Brussels Griffons. She patiently answered every question we had and immediately made us feel comfortable and confident throughout the entire process. Within 48 hours, my husband and I were on a plane to pick up our little Munch, and honestly, we knew from our very first FaceTime call with Shannon that this was the right choice. Her warmth, insight, and genuine love for her dogs truly stood out. She has such an amazing personality and made us feel like family from the start🐾🏡 Not only is Shannon extremely knowledgeable and informative, but she is also one of the sweetest and most caring people we’ve ever met. You can tell how deeply she loves and cares for her Brussels Griffons because they are all absolutely perfect, healthy, and so well-loved.💕 We also had the pleasure of meeting Shannon and her husband Anthony, and they both made this such a special experience for us. They went above and beyond , Shannon sent us home with all of Munch’s paperwork, a travel bag full of goodies, and every bit of information we needed to feel prepared and supported. Shannon and Anthony gave us more than just our forever puppy ❤️they gave us an unforgettable memory and brought endless happiness into our lives with our little Brussels boy, Munch.🩵 Five stars truly isn’t enough. Thank you so much, Shannon and Anthony, for your kindness, care, and for giving us so much joy! Xoxo your Boston friends MaRky & Sam

+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 wonderful and helped every step of the way. Shannon kept me updated every day on Oliver right up until pick-up time. You can truly tell that the Bruessels hold a special place in Shannon and her family's hearts. She went above and beyond to make the transition as smooth as possible for both Oliver and us. Thank you, shannon!

Our Brussels griffon had passed away and our house was just too quiet. I began searching for a BG puppy and decided to use Good Dog. I found Good Dog to be a wonderful way to connect with reputable breeders and available puppies! I was so fortunate to find Shannon. She was truly amazing to work with and so responsive! It was obvious that she loves the breed and is raising her puppies in such a loving environment. She had such great ideas to make our puppy, Meli comfortable for our trip home. Our puppy is just the sweetest and we couldn't be happier! Thank you, Shannon! We are so grateful for such a positive experience and are just so in love with Meli!

+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.
