Affenpinscher

Small in size but bursting with character, the Affenpinscher is a fearless little spark with a comical edge. They carry themselves with confidence, often acting like the biggest personality in the room. Curious, alert, and full of mischief, they're fiercely loyal to their chosen people, they are not afraid to speak up about how things should go. Life with an Affenpinscher is rarely dull. It's equal parts charm, attitude, and laugh-out-loud antics. Also known as Affens or Affies, they were later brought to North America in the 1930s and are one of the oldest toy breeds around today. While Affens usually have black coats, they can be found in a wide assortment of colours including tan, beige, white, silver, grey, and red.
