History
Originating in Germany, 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 moustached little devil. Both
describe the appearance and attitude of this delightful breed. The
total overall appearance of the Affenpinscher is more important
than any individual characteristic. He is described as having a neat
but shaggy appearance.
