    The average price of a Affenpinscher puppy that comes with registration papers is $1100, while the average price of a Affenpinscher puppy without registration papers is $10000.

    Dog clubs such as the American Kennel Club (AKC) in the USA provide dog registration papers. However, in addition to the AKC, there are other dog clubs in the USA and in other countries. Some of these dog clubs are:

  • American Kennel Club (United States)
  • United Kennel Club (International)
  • The Kennel Club (United Kingdom)
  • Canadian Kennel Club
  • Continental Kennel Club
  • United All Breed Registry
  • International Canine Association
  • Fédération Cynologique Internationale (International)


  • One purpose of dog registration papers is for keeping track of the breeding history, the ownership history, and the heritage history of a dog.

    For example, for a dog to have AKC papers, its parents must have AKC papers. Therefore, you can be very sure that a dog is purebred if it is AKC registerable, or if it comes with AKC registration papers.

    Note that not all dog registries keep as much record of a dog`s history as the AKC. So, if a breeder claims that a puppy comes with registration papers, always check with the breeder to find out what type of registration paper the puppy has.

    In addition to its use for keeping records, registration papers also make you and your dog eligible to participate in events organized by dog clubs. Such events include dog shows and other fun dog events.

    Note that the AKC only allows purebred dogs to be registered in its traditional registry. Mixed-breed/hybrid dogs are recognized by the AKC but they cannot be registered in AKC`s traditional registry.

    A puppy whose ancestors (parents, grandparents, etc.) had won titles in dog shows is said to have come from a champion bloodline. Such a puppy has some claim to fame because of its champion heritage.

    A puppy from a champion bloodline carries the genes of champions in him or her. Therefore, this puppy has the potential to be a champion dog too.

    If you plan to show your dog in dog conformation shows, and you want your puppy to stand a good chance in the show ring, then you should consider buying a puppy from a champion bloodline. Preferably, buy a puppy whose immediate parents are champions.

    If you plan to keep your puppy as a pet with no plans to show your dog in dog conformation shows, then you should not worry about buying a puppy that comes from a champion bloodline.

    Sometimes, a breeder may charge extra for a puppy that comes from a champion bloodline.

    The average price of a Affenpinscher puppy from champion bloodlines is $1550, while the average price of a Affenpinscher puppy that is not from champion bloodlines is $2880.

    A champion dog is a dog that had won top place in a dog conformation show. A champion-sired puppy is a puppy whose dad had won a title in a dog show. A dog conformation show is a competition that judges dogs on how well the physical appearance and personality of a dog conform to what is expected of the dog`s breed.

    You may have heard of dog shows like the National Dog Show and the Westminster Dog Show.

    Every purebred dog breed has a parent dog club that specifies what the dog breed is expected to look like and act like. This specification is called the breed standard.

    A Affenpinscher puppy that is champion-sired carries the genes of a champion in it. Therefore, this puppy will most likely grow up to look like and act like a purebred dog. Furthermore, a champion sired puppy has some claim to fame because his or her dad is a champion.

    Champion-sired puppies are generally more expensive than puppies that are not champion-sired.

    The average price of a Affenpinscher puppy that is champion-sired is $1550, while the average price of a Affenpinscher puppy that is not champion-sired is $2880.

    We obtained this information by analyzing the prices of 4 champion-sired Affenpinscher puppies that were listed for sale and 4 Affenpinscher puppies that were not champion-sired that were listed for sale by breeders.

    There is no real difference in the price of Affenpinscher puppy that is champion-sired and one that is not champion-sired.

    Microchipped Affenpinscher Prices

    Price of Affenpinscher by Microchipped

    Some Affenpinscher puppies come implanted with microchips from their breeders. A microchip is a very tiny electronic chip that is injected under a puppy`s skin. A puppy`s microchip contains information about the puppy`s owner.

    If a microchipped dog gets lost, the people that find the dog can retrieve the dog`s owner`s information by scanning the dog`s microchip for the dog owner`s information. It will be easier to find a lost dog that has a microchip than a lost dog without a microchip.

    We recommend that you buy a dog with a microchip or that you microchip your dog if your dog does not come with a microchip. This might save you headaches and heartaches in the future.

    The average price of a Affenpinscher puppy that is microchipped is $2750, while the average price of a Affenpinscher puppy that is not microchipped is $2140.

    We obtained this information from our detailed review of 1 microchipped Affenpinscher puppies that were listed for sale and 7 Affenpinscher puppies that were not microchipped that were listed for sale.

    Where to Buy Affenpinschers. Established Affenpinscher Breeders in the United States

    Breeders on the AKC marketplace tend to be reputable breeders. However, there could still be a few not-too-good breeders on the AKC marketplace. Therefore, do your own research before picking a breeder.

    You can also find good breeders on puppy websites such as puppyfind.com and nextdaypets.com. However, you need to be very careful when buying a puppy from these websites so as not to fall in the hands of scammers.

    When buying a puppy, make sure you do your due diligence not to buy a puppy from a puppy mill. Puppy mills breed puppies in large numbers in bad living conditions for the puppies. Puppy mill owners do not care about the puppies. They only care about making money selling puppies.

    Genuine breeders care more about breeding healthy puppies than making money. When looking for a breeder, choose a well-established breeder that has been breeding puppies for a long time. Breeders that have been breeding puppies for a long time are more trustworthy. These breeders breed puppies for the love of dogs, and not to make money.
