In 1902 the Affenpinschers passed preliminary standardization, and in 1913 they were officially registered in Germany. English cynological associations entered the breed into herdbooks only in 1936, since its representatives were not popular among British breeders. But in the USA, offers were accepted almost immediately after the presentation – in 1935, a “party” of shaggy dogs crossed the Atlantic, and a year later received recognition from the American Kennel Club.
