Two breeds of dog?[edit]

We define "griffon" as "Brussels griffon", but Webster 1913 suggests they may be distinct: "griffon: One of a European breed of rough-coated dogs, somewhat taller than the setter and of a grizzly liver color. They are used in hunting game birds. The Brussels griffon is a very small, wiry-coated, short-nosed pet dog of Belgian origin." Equinox 13:49, 11 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
