Affenpinscher

(Monkey Dog, Affens)

Do you have a photo of an Affenpinscher?

The Affenpinscher originated in Germany in the 1600s, where he was used as a ratter. Now rare in Germany and more common in the US, although a larger variety of the breed became extinct at the beginning of the 20th Century.

With a face covered in coarse hair and a profuse moustache and beard, the Affenpinscher is comical to look at and is often described as "mischeivous"! He doesn't take well to training and has a tendency to snap.
