Health Griffons are mostly a happy, robust, highly affectionate and somewhat 'needy' little dog. However, when you are seeking a puppy (either griffon or any breed) we suggest you Google "inherited diseases in name of breed" Find your breeder by locating a Registered ANKC breeder who tests and provides certification for the Google listed conditions. In Griffons, you would want your breeder to have tested for the following conditions, CM/SM (Chiari Like Malformation & Syringomyelia) - see http://www.veterinary-neurologist.co.uk/ Patella Luxation, Hereditary Cataract, and Hip Dysplasia. If a breeder answers your questions with 'oh, mine don't have that condition' ask them how they can prove this to you with certification. If there's no certification, don't buy a puppy from that breeder.The most ethical breeders health screen all their stock prior to breeding.
