I'm the breeder behind Genesis Brussels Griffons located in Maringouin, LA. We breed top-quality Griffons and focus on their health, temperament, and maintaining the breed standard. We love our pups! They are raised in our homes as part of our family and interact with the people and other dogs in the house. We're passionate about raising well-rounded pups who will excel.
