The Affenpinscher (Affenpincher) Dog
Breed In Brief
 Looking
for a great house pet? The Affenpinscher may just be the breed for you. This
adorable smaller breed hails from Germany, and the name translates to
"monkey terrier", possibly due to the breed's playful personality. The breed
was known in France as the "Diablotin Moustachu", which means "Moustached
Little Devil" in the French vernacular. Originally bred to control
vermin populations in Germany, the breed has been around for
centuries and is very popular as a house pet in Europe.
The Affenpinscher's
expression makes one think: "Hmmm... what kind of mischief are you
planning?". This loyal and affectionate breed enjoys the company of people
and is generally accepting of strangers and family. Early and consistent
obedience training is recommended with this breed to counter it's tendency
towards stubbornness. Grooming requirements are moderate; a good brushing
several times a week is needed to keep the Affenpinsher looking it's best,
and occasional trimming of the feet, tail and ears should also be performed.
If you are looking for a playful, tenacious and vivacious family pet, the
Affenpinscher is a great choice - city or country! Read
