Well it's not a monkey, it's actually a dog that LOOKS like a monkey and can BEHAVE like a monkey. The Affenpinscher is one of the
out there – it only weighs anywhere from 7 to 9 pounds, and stand as tall as 15 inches. The common color to all members of this breed is black, but other colors such as gray, red and tan. What makes this pooch look different and earn its title as “The Monkey Dog” is it's long wire-like hair, “strange” undershot jaw, round eyes plus its shaggy eyebrows. They too are playful and can be quite mischievous at times – getting its self into trouble often; like having arguments with other pets regardless of size (which can be quite dangerous considering its physical build), and sometimes even with small children.
The reason for that is because that type of behavior has been perfectly ingrained into its temperament, generation after generation; it may always be a part of it and could be very difficult to rid of – especially if you have no prior experience of owning the breed, or at least read a book all about dog obedience training.
won't need you to master professional pet training methods, though it would most definitely help a lot, the basics would suffice. When considering this breed for adoption, see whether or not it's compatible with the type of lifestyle you're currently living.
To help you out, I'll give more information on its attitude – the Affenpinscher is a very playful indoor pet. They are better suited for indoor living, as I've just mentioned, and will be okay in apartments because of their small and compact size. But keeping an animal inside of the house will need housebreaking, or in other words, it has to be trained NOT to pee nor poo inside the house. A crate with the proper “facilities” would be good for holding the wastes of your pet, but it won't do “business” with that crate unless it's taught to do so.
You might want to get a book all about housebreaking a dog to aid you with this. The Affenpinscher is a rather silent pet, and won't bark much unless pushed by another pet or person into doing so. Some scenarios that get it worked up or excited could also make it bark, but most owners of this breed don't report much problems with it. They will demand time and attention – they live on it and it keeps them going. So having it kept alone in the house could possibly lead to the development of some behavioral problems. It's best that there'll always be someone inside to keep it company when you have to leave for work or go wherever you're going.
won't be much of a problem – brushing 3 times a week and bathing once a weak with the use of shampoo, soap, and powder specially formulated for canine will be enough. The small build means it doesn't eat much, but the meals should be dog food packing all the nutrients it'll need as prescribed by your veterinarian or the other sources of information you may be using. An Affenpinscher won't need plenty of exercise, playing indoors and taking short walks would be good enough.
