Diseases in Affenpinschers
The Affenpinscher, an ancient German dog breed, belongs to the group of Pinschers and Schnauzers, Molossoids and Swiss Mountain Dogs. The breed was first documented in the 17th century and originated in Germany. The Affenpinscher was probably created by crossing Belgian Griffons with wire-haired Pinschers. It was originally used as a rat and mouse hunter in households and stables, which earned it a reputation as a tireless pest controller.
