Summary
About Affenpinscher
The Affenpinscher is a small, sturdy German toy breed with a rough, low‑shedding coat and a monkey‑like face. Once a fearless ratter, it’s now a lively companion: alert watchdog, playful and affectionate yet independent, needing patient training, regular grooming, and daily mental and physical activity.
About Alpine Dachsbracke
Compact, sturdy Austrian scent hound with a long body, short strong legs and a dense, weather‑resistant red coat. Calm and affectionate at home but driven by a strong hunting instinct, it needs plenty of exercise, nose work and consistent, positive training to thrive.
