Affenpinscher Colors, Hypoallergenic, Personality, White, Lifespan, and Grooming
Affenpinscher is a Monkey-like toy sized Pinscher dog breed from Germany. The name of the breed has been derived from the German name Affe( meaning monkey or ape). Although Affenpinschers are not classified as Terriers they were meant to work like one. They were used to do away with rats and other pests in German stables of the 1600s. Affenpinschers have a wiry fur and hence often considered hypoallergenic. Although, female Affenpinschers are more susceptible to seasonal flank alopecia especially during winter. Therefore, they tend to shed a bit of hair.
