Affenwich Temperament and Behaviour
The Affenwich dog breed is a small, active breed with a cheerful disposition. They are curious and inquisitive by nature, and love to play and explore their surroundings. They are also very affectionate and devoted to their owners, and make great companions. Affenwiches are intelligent dogs, and are quick learners. They are also known for their stubborn streak, and can be willful at times. However, they are generally obedient and eager to please. This breed is not suited for life in a kennel or apartment, as they need daily exercise and mental stimulation. Affenwiches are also known to be vocal dogs, and may bark excessively if not given enough attention.
Affenwich Activity Requirements
Affenwicks are not a high-energy breed of dog. They do require regular exercise, but they don’t need long walks or intense play sessions. They are well suited to apartment living and busy lifestyles. A brisk walk around the neighborhood or a game of fetch in the backyard is enough to keep your Affenwick happy and healthy. While they may not require a lot of vigorous activity, they do need regular, moderate activity. Affenwicks are a good choice for people who are active and need a low-maintenance companion. They need a moderate amount of exercise and are well suited for an active lifestyle.
