I think that is the Brussels Griffon that won the Toy group.

That is what I was thinking as well but it looks mixed with something else...I was thinking a "Brug" Brussel Griffon and a Pug...Thoughts?

Maybe one of the Toy breed people could help you more than I could. My experience with smaller breeds only extends to the Kooikerhondje (I had the first rescued dog of this breed in the USA). But that is what they said it was on Westminster.

Given that the photo was taken at Westminster, it would not be a mixed breed dog - it is a Brussels Griffon and yes they are cute, though imo, they are too small and delicate. Give me a big dog any day ; - )

Just wanted to add that this is the smooth version of the Brussels Griffon. There is also wire coated version.

Yes, it's the short haired variant of the Brussels Griffon. You'll recognize the wire-haired version from the movie 'As Good as it Gets'. But please, don't get a dog just because it's cute. Do a little (or better yet, a lot of) research and make sure it's the right breed for you.
