Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Just got an e-mail from our pet photographer, Bobbi, with photos and details on this little cutie, Ozzie. He is a 7 ½ yr. old, neutered male, Affenpinscher. Ozzie is a great little dog, would be a great companion for an older couple. He hasn’t been around kids or cats but is used to a quiet surrounding. He weighs 14-15 pounds. He just as lovable as he looks. Ozzie is non-shedding and must be groomed occasionally.
Since I knew nothing about this breed of dog I went to the American Kennel website and found this information:
The Affenpinscher (translated from German as Monkey-Terrier) is a peppy dog that has the face and impish nature of a monkey. One of the most ancient of toy dogs, the Affenpinscher originated in Central Europe during the 17th century, where they earned the nickname "little devil with a moustache." But Affens are more than just a pretty face. Though standing less than a foot tall, these sturdy terrier-like dogs approach life with great confidence. As with all great comedians, it’s their apparent seriousness of purpose that makes Affen antics all the more amusing.
