Bea Griffons are a relatively rare, but increasingly popular, breed of dog. They are sweet, gentle, and playful companions. Like most small, short-nosed breeds, Bea Griffons have a need for regular exercise. They are well suited to homes with yards that allow them to play and run, but they also do well on daily walks. If you have your heart set on one of these adorable pups, be prepared to give them the time and attention they need. This is not a pet that will be happy spending the day alone in your back yard.
