Affenpinscher Appearance

The weight of the Affenpinscher is around 7-12 pounds, and the height around 8-12 inches. He has a rough coat, which comes in a variety of colors including black and tan, black, gray, silver, and red. This is a sturdy little dog with an intelligent and alert expression. With proper grooming this breed does not shed very much, which is good news for those with allergies. The ears of the Affen are usually cropped, but can be left natural. Although sturdy in appearance, this breed is fine boned, so you should make sure that his spirited personality doesn't put him in dangers way, as he may try and jump around on and off furniture.
