(Affenpinscher and Bichon Frise mix) The Affenchon is not a pure bred, but a hybrid mix of Affenpinscher and Bichon Frise. The Affenchon was introduced in the 1990\'s. Due to their timid nature, they tend to bark quite a bit. But they do well around other pets. Caution should be taken around children as this dog is quite small and could be hurt in rough play.
