Description In the nineteenth century, the Affenpinscher was considered simply a wiry-haired miniature of the Jagdterrier, Over the years, however, other theories have clouded the picture. Some claim that the Affenpinscher is descended from the Griffon Bruxellois, while others protest is was the other way around - the Affenpinscher originating the Griffon Bruxellois line. In fact, both breeds could have descended from an extinct German Pinscher.
