Hollywood’s go-to “weird little dog” is the Chinese Crested. A shame since the Affenpinscher looks like Chewbacca, while being far more affordable, complete with trainer, than Jim Henson’s Creature Shop. The mixed breed in The Brady Bunch Movie (1995) appears to be an Affen mix. If you’ve spotted other Affens on film, let us know!
