Affenpinscher
The Affenpinscher is a small, sturdy toy breed known for its monkey-like facial expression and lively, confident personality. Originally bred as a ratter in German stables, kitchens, and shops, it later became a cherished companion dog. Despite its size, the Affenpinscher is bold, alert, and often acts like a much larger dog.
