About Affenpinscher
Country of Origin, History of the breed
The Affenpinscher originated
in Germany. The breed can be traced back to
the seventeenth century and similar, larger
breeds were seen in the early 1600s. The name,
Affenpinscher, uses the German term “Affe”
(ape, monkey) to describe this breed of dog,
and the full name “Affenpinscher”
is defined as "monkey-like terrier."
The Affenpinscher is related to the Brussels
Griffon and Miniature Schnauzer breeds. The
Affenpinscher was originally bred to hunt
rats inside homes and outdoors in rural areas.

A General Appearance of
the Dog
The Affenpinscher is a suitable
house pet due to its intelligence and overall behavior.
The Affenpinscher has fur that appears wiry to the
touch, and the dog is alert, inquisitive, and willing
to participate in activities with its guardian.
In addition, the Affenpinscher has a positive demeanor;
these dogs are loyal and affectionate. The Affenpinscher
has a strongly built body, small ears, round eyes,
a short muzzle, and a short tail. This breed of
dog may have a coat that is colored beige, black,
gray, red, silver, or tan. The coat length varies,
depending on the dog’s body. It is longer
on the legs and face, but shorter on other parts
of the dog’s body.
Coat colour
The breed standard for this dog’s
coat is beige, black, gray, red, silver, or tan,
although black is the color preferred by breeders
and kennel clubs. There is variance allowed with
the colors; for example, black coats may contain
rusty coloring and red coats may appear brown/red
or orange/tan. Some Affenpinschers have black facial
masks or a white spot on the chest.
Coat type
The Affenpinscher
has dense, rough fur that extends out to one inch
on the dog’s body. The fur may be shorter
on the tail. An adult Affenpinscher maintains a
cape consisting of strong hair that blends into
the coat. The fur is longer on and frames the dog’s
head; the fur on and around the ears is short. This
breed of dog is not known for excessive shedding.
Height: 9.5 to
11.5 inches or 24 to 29 centimeters.
Weight: 7 to
8 pounds or 3 to 3.5 kilograms.
Personality
The Affenpinscher is often compared
to the terrier. The Affenpinscher is part of the
pinscher-schnauzer group, and these dogs are able
to coexist with other dogs. The Affenpinscher is
very active, curious, and playful, but the dog can
also be stubborn at times. This dog is affectionate
with and protective toward family members and it
is loyal to an owner’s family. The Affenpinscher
is also sensitive and does not like to be teased.
Temperament of the Dog
The Affenpinscher tends to be
quiet, but is alert. The dog can become suddenly
excited if it feels threatened or is under attack,
and it does not demonstrate any outer fear to an
aggressor. The Affenpinschers can be territorial
with food or toys; therefore, this may not be the
best breed of dog for small children. Also, this
dog can become suspicious when their possessions
are approached or removed from their usual locations.
The Affenpinscher can be manipulative or demanding,
and it will become noticeably sullen if its demands
are not met.
Better suited to an indoor
or outdoor lifestyle?
The Affenpinscher is well suited
to the indoors or outdoors, and it requires a fenced
yard.
Are they suited to homes
with kids?
It must be noted that Affenpinscher
puppies should not be placed with small children,
due to the lack of coordination shown by children.
The Affenpinscher is a small dog, and a child may
accidentally harm the Affenpinscher by falling,
rolling, or squeezing the animal. The child’s
behavior may cause the Affenpinscher to experience
stress which can result in the dog biting or avoiding
the child.
 |
How
to take care of the Puppy? The Affenpinscher requires
early training that is consistent and firm.
If the dog is not trained early in life, it
may develop a petulant or “snappy”
personality. This breed of dog is known to
be easily housebroken; however, the toy breed
of Affenpinscher is not easy to housebreak.
The toy will respond to crate training. The
young Affenpinscher needs to be closely watched
while inside the house until it is housebroken.
|
Training
The Affenpinscher is known to
be an intelligent breed that can be trained with
consistent, patient training, using a variety of
methods. This breed quickly reacts to unknown sights
or sounds. As a result, they are quick to bark and
should be trained to minimize barking.
Activity Level
The Affenpinscher can be raised
in a house or apartment. This breed does not require
a great deal of exercise, but, when it is outside,
the Affenpinscher does require a fenced enclosure.
Grooming
The Affenpinscher is not known
for excessive shedding. The dog should be groomed
2 - 3 times per week, and regular brushing will
prevent a matted coat. The Affenpinscher’s
nails should be trimmed every four months, while
ear and tooth care should be performed every week.
Health
& Care
Like many toy breeds, the Affenpinscher
tends to be physically fragile. Care should be taken
not to accidentally step on a puppy or sit on the
animal when it is resting underneath covering, such
as a blanket. The Affenpinscher requires consistent
supervision and protection from potentially harmful
environments. This breed will quickly leap from
furniture and accidentally die from injuries sustained
during the fall. Due to its size, the Affenpinscher
needs constant supervision.
The Affenpinscher is known to contract
eye ulcers and infections, hip dysplasia, and a
collapsed trachea, which results from walking the
animal with a harness instead of a collar.
Cautions about Breeding
the Dog
Responsible, ethical breeders will
check the adult Affenpinscher for hip dysplasia,
cleft palate, and Willebrands Disease.
Litter Size: 2
and 3 pups per litter.
Life Span: 13
and 15 years.
