We are looking into getting a dog and are looking at a possibly a Brussels
Griffon. I have seen several pictures of them and of course the movie As
Good As It Gets with Verdell is what sparked us to get one.

But we want want that looks just like "Verdell" in that movie...small and
brown with a black "beard". I have seen ones that their beards are the same
color as their body, but we like that contrast. Basically we want one that
looks exactly like Verdell.

Any ideas on what to look for? Is it possible to know?

The most cursory google search will give you basic information about the
breed standards with regard to coat and color variations. If your sole
criteria is "one exactly like in the movie", you are going to set off
all sorts of warning bells for any responsible breeder. You're not
buying a stuffed toy or a home decorating accessory, you're acquiring a
living being who will be a member of your family for more than a decade.
Before you start shopping I'd suggest you do your homework and educate
yourself about the breed.
