Color: Black, gray, silver, red, black and tan, or beige are all acceptable
Black Affenpinscher dogs may have a rusty cast or a few white or silver hairs mixed with the black color. Reds may vary from a brownish red to an orangey tan. Belge has black, brown, and/or white hairs mixed with the red. With various colors, the furnishings may be a bit lighter. Some dogs may have black masks. A small white spot on the chest is not penalized, but large white patches are undesirable. Color is not a major consideration.
It is important to note here that ALL colors are EQUALLY acceptable and should be given equal consideration.
Tail may be docked or natural. A docked tail is generally between one and two inches long, set high, and carried erect. The natural tail is set high and carried curved gently up over the back while moving. The type of tail is not a major consideration.
