This companion is rewarded after doing several Argent Tournament quests whereby players become a champion for a specific allied race. Speak to the boy and he will display the banner of any races with whom you are an Argent Tournament champion. Additionally, if he is present when fighting a champion, he will sometimes cheer for you when you win or cry when you lose.

As of patch 3.2, this pet may now be equipped with an Argent Pony Bridle. With it, the pet allows you access to a mailbox, a bank, or a vendor every 4 hours.

I used a flawless battle stone on him, he shows up as rare in my pet journal now. Is there any chance of being able to record him as being a rare on here in the future? 

 

Thanks for the Reply Breanni!  "The problem is that the Blizzard Armory doesn’t show when battle pets are upgraded.  And since we pull our data from that, if it doesn’t show up there, it won’t show up on our site.  Until Blizzard fixes the issue, there’s little we can do."

The Gruntling himself is account wide, and you WILL get the Squire on Alliance characters.

 

Pony Bridle is NOT account wide and has to be earned seperately on each character.

Have him on a few of my characters, but have only upgraded with an Argent Pony Bridle on one character. I will probably wait at this point to see if the bridle upgrade is account-wide, so I won't have to "pony up" the 150 tokens for the rest of my characters!

If anyone has him on Beta, I'd love to hear if the Bridle is account wide or only the Gruntling!

It takes 8 days worth of dailies to acquire this companion from the Argent Tourney.

Since this was asked on the alliance version about whether worgen can get this pet, since they don't have a delegation...

Same principle applies here. Goblins can get this pet; the first reputation they can become a champion of, is Orgrimmar. You can then work towards becoming a champion of the other 4 factions in any order.

This is quite the helpful companion, but I have a warning: Do not give him a pet biscuit! He goes from lovable, loyal friend to terrifying Frankenstein monster in an instant. I know he's the same loyal kid I picked up in Icecrown, but it just makes him a bit frightening.

As far as i know, with patch 3.2.2, his pony is now much bigger. I like his new pony, as his old one was too tiny for an orc!

Now, this apparently seems to be a "grunt" as you Orcs call your soldiers. However, the only orc child NPCs that work for the Argent Crusade are called "squires", like Squire Cavin.

...Intriguing.

I didn't like this little guy until I got the Pony Bridle and upgraded him. Now, I like feeding him pet biscuits and running around Dalaran on a mount with him following close behind!

You know, sometimes I ask the community for recommendations of what I might say about a particular companion, as I did in this case. But when almost all of your "Breanni Says" suggestions involve a certain subject that begins with "ped" and ends with "elia", well, that's just shameful! Besides, Pedo Bear doesn't even have an NPC — lore is important, people!
