The Affenpinscher, also known as the Monkey Terrier, is a terrier-like toy Pinscher breed of dog.
The breed is German in origin and dates back to the seventeenth century. The name "affenpinscher" is derived from the German Affe (ape, monkey). When translated into English, the name means monkey terrier, supposedly so-called because the breed's little face looks more than a little simian. The breed predates and is ancestral to the Griffon Bruxellois (Brussels Griffon) and Miniature Schnauzer.
Dogs of the Affenpinscher type have been known since about 1600, but these were somewhat larger, about 30 to 33 centimeters (12 to 13 in), and came in colors of grey, fawn, black, tan, and red. White feet and chests were also common. The breed was created to be a ratter, working to remove rodents from kitchens, granaries, and stables.
