Although Affenpinschers come under the hypoallergenic category of dog breeds, they do shed quite a bit. Their coat is a little harsh and dense and requires more time to groom than the other soft-coated dogs. While Affenpinschers require little grooming, getting their coats brushed every once in a while can be healthy for them.

Affenpinschers often appear on lists of dogs that allegedly do not shed (moult). Every hair in the dog coat grows from a hair follicle, which has a three phase cycle, as do most mammals.

The Affenpinscher dog breed is considered hypoallergenic, but they still shed a little. Its rough coat is relatively easy to maintain, and like other terriers, their hair only requires trimming and stripping every 3 to 4 months. Affenpinschers should look  neat but shaggy, so brushing them once a week is ideal.

Some dogs shed year-round, some "blow" seasonally, some do both, and some shed hardly at all. If you're a neatnik, you'll need to either pick a low-shedding breed or relax your standards.

Luckily, the Affenpinscher doesnt require such an extreme measure. Not only does this personality-laden pooch shed little fura bonus for your allergies and your furniturebut its also extremely slow growing. This means thatunlike a movie star shopping on Rodeo Driveit doesnt gain a new fur coat every few weeks.

You can seriously injure or kill an Affenpinscher puppy by stepping on him or sitting on him. And Affenpinschers can seriously injure or kill themselves by leaping from your arms or off the back of your sofa. A larger dog can grab an Affenpinscher and break his neck with one quick shake.
