Appearance
The Affenpinschers comical face earned it its name; German for "monkey-like terrier." In
France the Affenpinscher is described as the "diablotin moustachu" or the "moustached
little devil." Extremely intelligent and affectionate with people, the naturally scruffy-look of
the Affenpinscher makes it appealing.
Temperament
The Affenpinscher is an active, adventurous, curious, and stubborn, but they are also
fun-loving and playful. The Affenpinscher breed is confident, lively, affectionate towards
family members and also very protective of them. The Affenpinscher is a loyal little dog
who enjoys being with their family.
History
The Affenpinscher breed can be traced back to the 1600s, though some say it is an
ancestor of the Brussels Griffon. Once a prized possession of royalty it made its way
into a few paintings by Old Masters. Affenpinschers are considered one of the oldest toy
dogs. Today they are somewhat rare in the USA.
