The Affenpinscher Dog Breed Information, also known as the Monkey Terrier, is a terrier-like dog breed that was initially bred to act as ratters in shops and stables. But now, they have been bred down in size to be more suitable to keep as a family pet. If you have seen Star Wars, then you would instantly spot the resemblance between an Affenpinscher dog’s face, and that of Wookies, a popular species in the series. But naturally, they are relatively smaller in size. However, one should not expect their small stature to their meekness, as they are pretty feisty in nature and full of energy which makes them a favorite among kids.
