• The Monkey Dog
  
  
  

Here we breed only Affenpinschers, occasionally.  All are AKC registered.  Temperament is paramount.  Nurturing enhances nature.  Love is a key ingredient.  Everything is done with thought ahead of time, way before puppies get conceived.  We take care of these babies like they were our kids because they are our kids!
At the bottom of our second page you can find out all about our available puppies.

We only breed occasionally, we don't always have puppies.  These are home raised puppies, its not a kennel.  Everyone is a cherished member of the family.  We don't do this for the money, our living comes from other sources.  Babies require a lot of time, attention, and love, they deserve 100%.  Our motto would be, "Quality Not Quantity".  We encourage you to come here to see for yourself.  Everyone is welcome!

Maggy, Rudy, Flo, Majik, Vinny and Jitterbug are my personal dogs. I sell their babies, which are pictured at the bottom of page 2.  Its important to spend a lot of time with each puppy so that baths, manners, brushing, toe nail trimming, etc are all understood. Everything a good dog can build on.

With each puppy we provide a 2 year full genetic health guarantee. It starts on the day you purchase the puppy. I promise to replace the pup or refund the purchase price, your choice . It gives my full info and the pups registration number and info. I sign it and give you this contract. We've never had any medical problems what so ever. Our 3 males are totally unrelated and I don’t line breed (father/daughter or mother/son). We also provide you with a pedigree for each pup so you can see the lineage for yourself.

This is a rare breed, not easy to come by. You don’t see them in your local paper like other dogs. You have to go looking. But if you’ve ever known one of these little beauties then I don’t need to tell you, they are the most unusual breed out there. In the Toy Class, they are one of the oldest breeds.  Small but not delicate, they average around 10 pounds. They are serious cartoon characters. They're proud of their mischievous tricks, anything for a laugh!  They are very intelligent, devoted, and willing. But don't expect to see them on any top 10 list, because they only rank the common breeds.

Maggie Mae

She has natural ears, and natural tail.

Mothers pass on their physical and psychological states.  Unconditional love, good food, a warm dry home w/their people/person is ideal.  The pups need constant encouragement, assurance, and recognition.  A good Vet you like nearby.  The less grain in a dog food the better.  They need good food, we also give the mothers and weaning pups Goat milk.  We recommend it for all young dogs, its extra calcium for growing bones and very digestible.  Its a stress on any dog to live without a person, living in a kennel or being just a number. They can pass on the fear & insecurity of it to their puppies.

They don't respond to tough love, they can be very stubborn.  Rule with an iron first in a velvet glove. Don't stress the small stuff, they can teach you that its just not worth it.  We talk to them all the time, they understand key words and certainly recognise tones. They understand more than we know. They’re very perceptive and impressionable. They aren’t a breed for a family with very young kids.  They definitely aren’t for everyone.

Potty Training depends partly on the individual pup and partly on you. We use "Potty Pads" to begin them thinking about "going" in the right place.  By the time you take them home, they'll be familiar with it. For puppies to learn to go outside, go there with them right after eating, after a nap, and after play.  More suggestions would be the obvious, when they sit by the door or look like their looking for a spot. Ideally, they should be taken out every few hours during the day, and praised lavishly when they go. Less often as the months go by, It is a commitment. All our adults sleep in their kennel crates, but I get up for them to have a potty break at least once a night. Stay focused on the positive result, don’t spend time on the negative. Try to stay neutral whenever you don't catch them in the act.  It is essential that no scent of #1 or #2 be left, otherwise its a beacon for them to come back to.  Its a process that changes before you know it.

Affenpinschers are unique. It's easy see how they got the name Monkey Dog, they have a thoughtful look and use their paws like hands. They have a prominent lower lip & their lower jaw comes out a little farther than the upper jaw.  The fur on their cheeks & jowls grows thick and gives their face a rounded look.  With a short nose and wide eyes they look monkeyish.  They’re very hardy, not at all weak or sickly or allergic. They shed very little. Their hair should never be cut, but only brushed.  Their coat is wiry, not prone to matting. They rank high on the hypoallergenic scale.

They are very loyal to family but aloof toward strangers, even outspoken. They would charge an enemy but not bearing teeth.  They are active dogs and love to keep busy.  If nothing is happening they take a nap but they always listen for action. They are quite nimble and ready at all times for adventure.  As a puppy they will require training and socialization in order to cope with a busy house.  They have alot of affection for their person or family, but the opposite for strangers.

They all love toys, they have been my best fetchers, and we’ve had many breeds in the family, over the years. Some Affens are into it more than others. All the babies love toys but some adults consider themselves the king/queen. They especially love the squeekers, but the ones that fetch will always be at your side with any toy.

Affenpinschers really like obedience, especially the males. As the breed goes, they have a natural & strong desire to please their person.  They all come running when called, all the males sit at once. They wouldn't think of running away, they see their role very seriously.  We’ve seen all dogs adhere to hierarchy, but Affens respond to humane guidance more like the German Shepherd dog. Puppies learn quickly if taught correctly and with kindness. They are eager to please you, but it must be reciprocated with genuine love.

We fully support the methods and beliefs of Cesar Millan.
His intuition is right on the nose.

All our dogs are AKC registered, and conform to the standard. They are weight and height proportional. The AKC recognises tails left long (natural) or docked. At this point, I want to add that all our puppies will be natural, uncut. Its a cruel move to preform this on a puppy day 2. They need their tails and ears for communication. The AKC recognise ears left floppy (natural) or cropped. Affen’s come in black, belge, red, and combo’s. We have all blacks. It is said that red dogs are more highly strung.

We are located 100 miles north of Los Angeles, but we ship about anywhere in the USA

Rudy Boy has natural ears.
