The Snorkie is a cross between a Miniature
Schnauzer and Yorkie. They can resemble
either, although they usually look somewhat
more like the Miniature Schnauzer in the face.
Some people who are not familiar with this
cross breed will think a Snorkie is a small
Miniature Schnauzer with the ears not cropped,
especially if the coloration is that of a Mini-
ature Schnauzer. They are a good small
companion with the best qualities of both
breeds. They make a good pet for someone
who is living in a small apartment because
they are very small. They make good watch
dogs and will alert their owner when a
stranger shows up. They love attention and
are good lap dogs.
The ears are not cropped as they are on
the Miniature Schnauzer but the tails are
docked.
They are usually small like the Yorkie,
weighing 10 pounds or less.
The hair coat on most Snorkies is a little
longer than the Miniature Schnauzer but
not as long as Yorkie. The color of the
coat can be any of the colors in either
breed.
Snorkies can be clipped in a cut similiar
to the Miniature Schnauzer. This style of
grooming looks very cute on them! A
Snorkie will shed very little.
There are not allot of Snorkies around
and we breed Snorkie to Snorkie. The
grandparents of our puppies were full
blooded registered Yorkies and Miniature
Schnauzers. We hand picked the pups
with the best qualities for breeding the
Snorkies.
