History

The word 'Script error: No such module "Lang".' derives from Script error: No such module "Lang"., German for 'ape' or 'monkey'; it is sometimes translated as 'Monkey Terrier', although the dog is a pinscher and not a terrier.[1]Template:R/superscript[3]Template:R/superscript

The origins of the Pinscher group of dogs are unknown.[4]Template:R/superscript Dogs of this type, both rough-haired and smooth-haired, were traditionally kept as carriage dogs or as stable dogs, and so were sometimes known as Script error: No such module "Lang".; they were capable ratters.[4]Template:R/superscript Until the late nineteenth century, both rough-haired and smooth-haired types were known as Deutscher Pinscher, and came from the same lineage; puppies of both types could occur in the same litter.[4]Template:R/superscript

In 1880 the Pinscher was recorded in the Deutschen Hundestammbuch of the Verein zur Veredelung der Hunderassen.[5]Template:R/superscript In 1895 Template:Ill described five varieties of Pinscher – the rough- and smooth-haired Pinscher, the rough- and smooth-haired Miniature Pinscher, and the Affenpinscher.[4]Template:R/superscript[6]Template:R/superscript In 1895 a breed society, the Pinscher-Schnauzer-Klub, was established for both types, both rough- and smooth-haired.[5]Template:R/superscript

Dogs of the Affenpinscher type have been known since about 1600.[2]Template:R/superscript There were originally thought to be two sizes, the larger size is now extinct.[1]Template:R/superscript The larger size was approximately Script error: No such module "convert"., and came in colours of grey, fawn, black, tan, and red.[2]Template:R/superscript White feet and chests were also common.[2]Template:R/superscript The breed was created to be a ratter in homes, working to remove rodents from kitchens, and also granaries and stables.[7] Early breeders crossed the various schnauzers and pinschers with the goal to create a mouser who also was a good companion dog.[2]Template:R/superscript Some of the breeds that may have been included to produce the Affenpinscher are pugs, German pinschers, schnauzers and silky pinschers.[2]Template:R/superscript

The breed predates and is ancestral to the Griffon Bruxellois (Brussels Griffon) and Miniature Schnauzer which was thought to be from affenpinschers crossed with standard schnauzers in addition to other breeds.[8]Template:R/superscript[1]Template:R/superscript The breed was recognised by the AKC in 1935 and the FCI in 1955.[9][10]Template:R/superscript[11]Template:R/superscript

Description

File:Borismindre.jpg

The Affenpinscher generally weighs Template:Cvt and stands some Template:Cvt at the withers.[10]Template:R/superscript[11]Template:R/superscript It has a harsh rough coat when it is not clipped, but if clipped it can be softer and fluffier. It has a notable monkey-like expression (affe is German for monkey). Its coat is shaggier over the head and shoulders, forming a mane, with a shorter coat over the back and hind quarters. It is harsh and wiry in texture when properly maintained. The Fédération Cynologique Internationale and British Kennel Club breed standards specify that the coat must be black,[10]Template:R/superscript[13]Template:R/superscript but the American Kennel Club also allows grey, silver, red, black and tan, and beige (a mixture of red, brown, black and white hairs).[14]Template:R/superscript

Affenpinschers have a distinct appearance that some associate with terriers. However, they are part of "Group 2, Section 1: Pinschers and Schnauzers" in the FCI classification, and not the terrier group.[15]

Health

A UK study found a life expectancy of 9.3 years for the breed compared to an average of 12.7 for purebreeds and 12 for crossbreeds[16]

The Affenpinscher is prone to hip dysplasia.[17]Template:R/superscript As with many small breeds of dog, they are prone to collapsed trachea and luxating patella.[18] Some are prone to fractures, PDA, open fontanel and respiratory problems in hot weather. Ocular conditions such as cataracts are occasionally reported.[19]Template:R/superscript An emerging concern is syringomyelia, although the incidence is currently unknown.[20]

Bitches are more prone to seasonal flank alopecia, which seems to affect them during the winter.[21]
