Hopefully an Affen
puppy will be in your future; however, it is
important to realize that there are usually not a
lot of puppies available. Affenpinschers are
rather an "uncommon" breed so there are
not as many born or registered in a single year as
there are in more "common" or popular
breeds.
Affenpinschers, like other Toy Dogs, often have small litters - a
litter of one puppy is not uncommon. Many breeders have people
waiting for their puppies, so you may need to
contact a breeder to put your name on a
"waiting list".

Many breeders will
not ship puppies to new homes as they are quite
small. It will most likely be necessary for you to
make a trip to the breeder's home to pick up the new
addition to your family. If you are willing to wait
and make the trip to get your new puppy, you will
not be sorry...an Affenpinscher will make a
wonderful, loving, fun-loving addition to your
household.
Additionally, we suggest that you learn as much as possible about the
breed to be sure they will fit well with your
family, living arrangements and lifestyle. Our
web site is an excellent place to start - with our
articles on Affen
Personality, Affens
& Obedience, and Puppy's
First Year.

In addition, there is
an Affenpinscher rescue
organization which sometimes has dogs available.
