Schnauzer (Miniature)

Yorkshire Terrier

Overview:

The delightful Snorkie is a charming designer breed, a cross between the intelligent Miniature Schnauzer and the spirited Yorkshire Terrier. Originating from the desire to combine the best traits of both parent breeds, Snorkies are typically small dogs, often weighing between 7-15 pounds. Their physical appearance varies, but they usually boast a wiry or silky coat, often in shades of black, brown, silver, or tan, and can have either erect or folded ears. Temperamentally, they are known for being affectionate, lively, and quite courageous, often displaying a playful and curious nature. Their relatively small size and adaptability make them excellent companions for apartment living and can thrive in families with gentle children. While generally healthy, potential health considerations include issues common to their parent breeds, such as patellar luxation, dental problems, and eye conditions, making regular vet check-ups important.
