answers and dogs facts

The Affenpinscher is an active intelligent little dog. They love to play, and despite their small size are quite sturdy. The breed is characterized by a rough hard coat which must be stripped to keep it in good condition. Training should start at a young age as they can possess the trademark "terrier stubborness". Affenpinschers are very affectionate and loyal to their families and will fearlessly protect them from any perceived threat.
