2024 International Griffon Health Survey
The Country Griffon Bruxellois Club of NSW conducted another international health survey on Griffons to ascertain the overall health of the breed as described by the breeders and owners of Griffons.
The survey was conducted over a 4-month period from 23rd October 2024 until 22nd February 2025. The survey was sent out to our Club database, was distributed to other Clubs to send out to their database, linked on our Instagram and Facebook profiles and was promoted on as many legitimate Griffon Bruxellois-related groups as possible on Facebook. Some Facebook groups elected not to publish the survey which was unfortunate because we wanted it to reach as many current and former owners are possible.
The survey:
- was completed 238 times and covers a total of 4561 dogs - 1782 owned and 2779 bred.
- saw the lowest number recorded from a single respondent as 0
- saw the highest number from a single respondent as 300.
The most common issue identified was Umbilical Hernia with 8.59% of dogs impacted and the second most common issue was Patella Luxation with 8.53% of dogs impacted by this issue. The most common issue identified by respondents related to breeding was Cleft Palate where 8.31% of dogs were impacted by this issue.
