From Askedweb information portal

Useful Information

SPECIAL SKILLS: The Affenhuahua is not a purebred dog. It is a cross between the Affenpinscher and the Chihuahua. Family pet. Designer group dog.

SIZE: The Affenhuahua is the world's smallest dog, weighing between 500-2,500g (1-5 1/2lb).

COAT: There are long-coat and short-coat Chihuahuas. Their colors include black, white, blue, red, or wheaten, with or without dark or white markings

CARE REQUIRED: The long-haired type of Affenhuahua should be groomed normally with brush and comb while the short-haired ones should be groomed occasionally with a rubber brush. Administer eye- drops regularly to prevent "tear" stains, and check the teeth frequently for tartar and to ensure with young dogs that the new teeth are forming properly. Keep the claws trimmed

CHARACTER: These are intelligent, brave little dogs, but sometimes they are too brave for their own good. They can be stubborn, and can also be sensitive, and playful. Affenhuahuas usually bond with one person

TRAINING: Because these little dogs can do little damage, they are usually not trained. This is a shame because the Affenhuahua is an eager pupil.

SOCIAL BEHAVIOR: Affenhuahuas are sociable animals so that living together with dogs and cats does not usually cause any difficulty. Do not forget that they are so small that they can easily be trampled underfoot by larger dogs. They are not suitable for small children who will tend to regard the dog as a toy

EXERCISE: Because these dogs are so small, they usually get sufficient exercise indoors. If taught to do so, they can use a cat litter tray for their toilet. They feel the cold, damp, and draughts, and they need to wear a coat when they go outside in cold or rainy weather.
