#2. "The hair on the face is longer than the rest of the body giving it a distinct look."

#5. "The prominent, round eyes are black."
#6. "The neck is short and arched and the limbs are straight and well boned."
#7. "The tail is carried high and docked to 2/3 it's length."
#8. "The hairy ears are customarily docked, pointed and erect."
#9. "The coat is usually black or dark gray, but can also come in lighter gray, silver, red, or black and tan. The undercoat is slightly curly."
#10. "The Affenpinscher has a terrier-like personality."

#16. "It needs consistent, firm training."
#17. "They learn commands very quickly."
#18. "Some may be difficult to housebreak."
#19. "They are not recommended for very young children, simply because most people who own the breed treat them like a small dog, lacking the proper pack leadership, causing negative behaviors to come out in the dog."
