About the Breed
An old breed whose history dates back over
300 years, the Affenpinscher is probably descended from a
combination of small wire-haired terriers and pug-like dogs.
It originated in Germany and is sometimes known as the Monkey
Dog, because of its facial features, which resemble those
of certain primates. The bushy area of hair above the mouth,
and the flattish nose, have led the French to refer to this
breed less flatteringly as the Diabletin Moustache –
the moustached little devil.
In terms of personality, however, the Affenpinscher has all
the best qualities of the terrier breeds. These little dogs
are lively, loyal and affectionate, although they may prove
stubborn on occasions. The coat is wiry in texture and relatively
long, but grooming is quite straightforward, a daily brushing
usually proving adequate. The preferred colouration for the
coat is black, but grey, black and tan, and red individuals
may be encountered on occasion as well.
Affenpinschers require a daily walk, although this need not
be a lengthy period of exercise. They also enjoy a run off
the leash in suitably safe surroundings. The breed was first
recognised by the American Kennel Club in 1936,and then by
Kennel Club in Great Britain during 1980.
In the Affenpinscher, the lower jaw may be slightly longer
than the upper; although this undershot arrangement is often
considered a fault in other breeds, it is not regarded as
a weakness in this case.
