I have an affenpinscher mut. . . .(maybe poodle). His name is scout and he's my best friend. Can you share with me a personality of a "pure" affen?
Answer:German breed dog, dating back to the 17th century. Affen in German means Ape. Affenpinschers have a distinct appearance that some associate with terriers. They are different from terriers, however, in that they are actually part of the pinscher-schnauzer subgroup of group 2 in the FCI classification so often get along with other dogs and pets. They are active, adventurous, curious, and stubborn, but they are also fun-loving and playful. The breed is confident, lively, affectionate towards family members and also very protective of them. This loyal little dog enjoys being with its family. It needs consistent, firm training because some can be quite difficult to housebreak. The training should be varied because the dog can easily become bored. Affenpinschers are somewhat territorial when it comes to their toys and food, so they are not recommended for very small children. This dog is mostly quiet but can become very excited if attacked or threatened and shows no fear toward any aggressor. It is best suited for a family who likes a show and has a sense of humor.

Can someone please tell me how long the Affenpinscher breed of dog can be left alone for , I'm thinking of getting the dog for a pet. Thanks
Answer:For a regular working day. As a pup you willhave to confine him to an easy-to-clean up space, but once he is six months old you can crate him while you are at work.
I'm not looking for an Affen yet, but would like to do some research for when I do start looking for one and none of the breeders or rescue services listed or referenced on the AKC site will respond to my emails.
Answer:You should try a pet store near you and if they dont im pretty sure they may no someone who does
