The Petit Brabançon adapts to most of the lifestyles that its master can offer it, as long as it has the possibility of staying with it. He adapts easily to an urban environment and apartment living, but being able to have a large garden would also be a good thing for this little dog. Families with young children should remain vigilant , as their behaviors can be misinterpreted by the dog. It is the same for those having rodents as pets; Petit Brabançon’s past as a ratter may lead him to hunt them.
