Hi! A smooth coated Brussels Griffon has a coat similar to a Pug while a rough coated Brussels Griffon has longer hair and a trade mark beard like the dog in "As Good As It Gets". Rough coats tend to be more popular so in turn, more common.

Hi, Some additional information:
Smooth coats are easier to groom. A quick brushing every day or so keeps them looking very nice. Usually Smooth coats have a richer, darker color.
Rough coats need regular grooming. To have a coat that is rich in texture and color, one must hand strip the coat. The coat can be clippered but it will result in a softer texture and a lighter texture. A rich, wiry texture coat is part of the AKC breed standard so show roughs are hand stripped. Most pet owners clip their roughs.
Both coat types shed.
