Your Affenpinscher is alert, spirited and confident. He is wonderfully self-assured yet non argumentative and real people pleaser. Affenpinschers like nothing better than to be close to their families and, although they are not overly clingy, they should be involved with all aspects of family life both inside and outside the home. They’ll appreciate being taken out on family outings and trips, whenever possible. Your Affenpinscher has a curious and inquisitive nature which means he can be a bit mischievous if there’s somewhere he wants to be or something he wants to do. Affenpinschers are not only curious, but they are keen problem solvers and prone to independence, so it’s important to stay one step ahead of them or they may end up running rings around you! Your Affenpinscher will happily get along with other dogs and animals, making him a great dog for households which already have pets.
