Our History
It was around 2006 when I first fell in love with this quirky and endearing breed. I had gotten to know a fun, and rather spastic, male who totally won me over with his antics and fun-loving personality. It wasn't long after that I was able to welcome home my first Griff, a girl that I named Jotlims Little Golden Girl, also known as Sofie. A few months later, Eddie joined her (Jotlims Mr Ed) and together they made quite the duo. Eddie was the comedy relief, while Sofie was an ever-constant companion. Fast forward a few years (more than a decade, really), after Eddie and Sofie passed and my husband and I had two children with a third on the way, that I desperately missed my little Griffs. After months of searching, I fell head-over-heels in love with a little red rough girl from Ukraine. Unfortunately, the breeder informed me that she was spoken for and I was heartbroken. But, as only God can ordain, a few weeks later I found out that the other family had chosen not to move forward and she could be mine! Weeks and weeks of preparation and finally, Luke and I were making the drive to Chicago to meet her at the airport. She has been a true joy ever since and has blessed our family tremendously with her sweet temperament, constant love, and her fun, human-like curiosity!
Our family consists of four children and we live on a 7 acre farm that sits on a dirt road in rural northern Indiana; we consider it a paradise! We are blessed beyond measure to live close to both our parents and we enjoy caring for our garden, farm animals, and dogs.
The Brussels Griffon breed has been a perfect fit for our family, but we recognize that it's not for everyone. Research and, if possible, personal interactions and advice from other Griff owners is very important if you are considering getting a puppy. We are happy provide all the information we can, through our website and phone/in-person communication to help you make the best decision for your family.
