📜History | The Petit Brabançon descends from a small rough-coated dog known as 'Smousje', found in the Brussels area for centuries. In the 19th century, bloodlines from the Ruby King Charles Spaniel and the Pug helped establish its distinct appearance. This breed became popular due to royal interest, particularly from Queen Marie-Henriette of Belgium. |
