== Health and temperament ==
Korthals Griffons are known as intelligent with softer temperaments but with a willingness to please. They do not adapt well to harsh training methods. Most Griffons do not take well to living their lives in kennels.  Regular exercise and training is highly recommended.  They are extremely people oriented and prefer to be somewhere in the vicinity of their owners.
