Scalene Affenpinschers

For many years I bred and exhibited Weimaraner Gundogs. In 1994 I introduced an Affenpinscher to the Scalene kennel. Since then I have shown and occasionally bred them. During that time my Weimaraners have gradually reduced from fourteen to one. With increasing years and a move to a smaller property I have found the Affenpinscher easier to manage and this has enabled me to extend my hobby well into my seventies. The Affenpinscher is a very adaptable dog that will live happily in almost any home environment.

So what makes the Affenpinscher such an attractive prospect?

A comically serious little dog; also know as the Monkey Terrier, though he is a member of the Toy Group. Scruffy , the urchin of the the dog world who needs little grooming. An all black dog that often develops grey frosting, even at an early age. Not a very easy dog to breed with a tendency to produce small litters. Very loving, lively, self-confident and loyal, watchful of strangers and friendly towards other animals both large and small - they see themselves as six foot tall. A wonderful companion who will be a constant source of pride and pleasure both as a show dog and pet.
