Breed overview
Affenpinscher
A.K.A.: Monkey Terrier, Affen, Affenpincher, Aaffenpinscher
Overview:
The Affenpinscher, often nicknamed the "Monkey Dog" due to its expressive, almost simian face, is a charming and spirited toy breed with German origins, dating back to the 17th century. Physically, they are small, sturdy dogs, typically weighing between 7-10 pounds, with a shaggy, wiry coat that comes in various colors, most commonly black. Their most striking feature is their distinctive facial hair, including prominent eyebrows and a beard, contributing to their impish look. Temperamentally, Affenpinschers are curious, playful, and fiercely loyal to their families, possessing a surprising amount of confidence and courage for their size. They generally adapt well to apartment living thanks to their small stature and moderate exercise needs, and can be good with older, respectful children, though their assertive nature means early socialization is key. While generally healthy, potential owners should be aware of breed-specific concerns such as patellar luxation and respiratory issues due to their brachycephalic (short-nosed) structure, particularly in warmer climates.
