About Affenpinschers
The Affenpinscher is one of the oldest toy breeds, with origins tracing back to 17th-century Germany, where it was originally bred to be a rat catcher in homes, stables, and shops. Its name, derived from the German word “Affe” meaning “monkey,” reflects its distinctive primate-like facial expression. Over time, breeders refined the Affenpinscher’s size and temperament, shifting its role from a working mouser to a charming companion dog, especially popular among European nobility in the 18th and 19th centuries. Despite its small stature, the Affenpinscher retains a bold, terrier-like spirit, and its wiry coat and intelligent expression make it both a unique and endearing member of the toy group.
