History of the breed

The Affenpinscher   corresponds to a very old race . He descends from dogs represented as early as the 16th century by the German artist Albrecht Dürer on his wood engravings. The first records of Affenpinschers date back to 1879. From the beginning of the 20th century, these dogs developed on the basis of wire-haired Pinschers meet with great success. Over the selections, the black coat was favored over the other colors, including yellowish, reddish, grayish white and dark gray. The Affenpinscher breed was definitively recognized by the Fédération Cynologique Internationale (FCI) on July 15, 1955.
