The Affenpinscher originated in Germany. Its original meaning in German is a monkey-like terrier, and the French describe them as "Diablo" or "bearded devils."
The Affenpinscher looks like a cartoon, but in fact it has powerful jaws. If given the opportunity, it can still serve as a terrible rat catcher. In the past, it served as a rat exterminator in the kitchen stable. It is also a very capable quail and rabbit catcher.
Today, the breed is rare in Germany, and the largest number of surviving dogs is in North America. A larger version of the Affenpinscher disappeared in the early 20th century. The exact history of this ancient breed is unknown. However, its physical structure shows that it was a cross between a small local Pinscher and an Asian Pug. It may be the ancestor of the Belgian Cowhide and is related to the Schnauzer.
The Affenpinscher is a strict, dedicated, cheerful, howling dog that can bring a smile to the first person who possesses it. However, due to its stubborn character, self-righteousness, and frequent bites, it does not adapt well to training and training. However, it is still an energetic and fun companion dog.
