Affen Tzu Physical Characteristics

The Affen Tzu is a small, small- to medium-sized, long-coated breed of affenpinscher developed in Germany. The breed is relatively new; the FCI did not recognize it until 1993 and, although it is not recognized as a national breed by the VDH, it is gaining recognition outside Germany. The Affen is a sturdy, muscular, strongly built, and short coated dog, with a longish head. It resembles a miniature German Shepherd Dog, but with the tail set low or hanging down. The hair on the back and front legs is longer, and the tail is bushy. The eyes of the affenpinscher are almond-shaped, dark in color, and expressive. The ears are medium in size, triangular in shape, and either cropped or uncropped. The fur can be any color, but the most common colors are sable, white with black markings, or solid black. The affenpinscher is an intelligent, lively and friendly, yet independent, companion. They have been bred to be alert watchdogs and as protectors of property.
