40 Dog Breeds That Do NOT Belong in Your Home!

Affenpinscher

The Affenpinscher is an adorable breed of dog that stands just under 13 inches tall when fully grown. The Affenpinscher has been bred since the 1600s with many breeds providing different coat types and color combinations. The Affenpinscher tops out at around 13lbs and is most well-known for its monkey-like appearance.

The Affenpinscher is tremendously loyal but also dangerously protective. As a result, if your Affenpinscher registers a small child as a threat, that child could end up with a nasty bite. Socialization and temperament training is key if you want to bring the famous Monkey Terrier into your home.
