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 Auvergne Pointer (Braque d'Auvergne)
Medium French pointing dog with black‑and‑white “ink splash” coat, calm yet athletic. Sensitive, affectionate and people‑oriented, it bonds closely with its family. A versatile hunter needing 1.5–2 hours of daily activity, it is rare outside France but valued for its rustic, working character.
