This was my little Affenpinscher puppy Bicho (means creature in spanish). Affenpinschers are a little known, sturdy, playful, mischievous, and fearless little breed in the toy dog group that look and act like monkeys! The breed comes from Germany and means Monkey-like terrier in german. I really recomend this breed to everyone, as they are active but do not require that much excercise. I read somewhere that a dog show judge once said about this breed, that it was the best kept secret in the toy group. Please leave comments if you are a fan or a proud owner of these wonderfull little monkey dogs! RIP Bicho
