My griffon weighs 18 lbs and is a bit taller than the standard height. We purchased him from a pet store and I'm guessing that he was placed there because he didn't fit the standard measurements. We wanted a companion, not a show dog. So despite being larger than the norm, he's a great dog with an equally big heart!

There is a large size variation in this breed. As a breeder - when I started breeding in 1995 I would get a 5 lb mature dog and an 18 lb mature dog out of the same litter regularly. Through the years I have finally been able to regulate my size to 8-10 lbs per pup per litter. But there are still those dogs in the gene pool throwing the varied sizes.
