Day 3Affenpinscher History and DomesticationThe Affenpinscher is thought to be one of the oldest toy Dog breeds, appearing in Germany during the 17th century. Although the Affenpinscher then was bigger than the Dog we know today, it is thought that the ancestors of these Dogs were around much earlier, being depicted in paintings as early as the 15th century. The Affenpinscher was first bred and kept as a form of pest control in kitchens and stables, as these active Terriers proved effective at keeping rat numbers down. By the late 1800s, the breed was fully established in southern Germany and was a favoured Dog of the rich and famous. The Affenpinscher was imported in the USA after the second world war, where today, more Affenpinschers exist than anywhere else in the world combined.——————-Project A-Z AnimalsI started this project because I wanted to know more about different animals in the world, whether they be extinct or a new found species. I find animals very interesting. This project also aims to increase my usage of my newly bought tablet which I still find difficult to maneuver. I hope after this project - posting one animal drawing a day, will help me become a better artist and a better person (HAHA) as well. The pictures are normally traced then colored. :)source: http://a-z-animals.com/xo, cdraws -- source link
