AFFENPINSCHER

GROUP:  TOY DOGS

The Affenpinscher is a balanced, little wiry-haired terrier-like toy dog whose intelligence and demeanor make it a good house pet.  Originating in Germany, where the name Affenpinscher means "monkey-like terrier," the breed was developed to rid the kitchens, granaries and stables of rodents.  In France the breed is described as the diablotin moustachu or the mustached little devil.  Both these name help to describe the appearance and attitude of this delightful breed.  The general demeanor of the Affenpinscher is game, alert and inquisitive with great loyalty and affection towards its master and friends.  The breed is generally quiet but can become vehemently excited when threatened or attacked and is fearless toward any aggressor.  Males and females, 9 to 11 1/2 inches.
