Not AKC recognized, Designer/Hybrid breed (ACHC, DDKC, DRA)
Snorkie
Bold. affectionate. Yours.
You crossed a Schnauzer with a Yorkie and somehow got a dog with twice the personality of either parent in a body that fits inside a tote bag. The Snorkie is what happens when German engineering meets British aristocracy in a blender set to 'maximum opinions per pound.' This is a dog that weighs eight pounds and genuinely believes it could take a Great Dane in a fair fight.

The Snorkie experience
You know you're a Snorkie owner when...
●The bark, a sound so disproportionately loud for their body size that new visitors genuinely look around for a bigger dog before looking down and finding your eight-pound security system vibrating with righteous fury.
●The beard maintenance, cleaning food, water, and mysterious substances out of those Schnauzer whiskers daily, knowing full well they'll be disgusting again within the hour.
●Explaining the name, 'It's a Schnauzer-Yorkie mix. A Snorkie. No, I didn't make that up. Yes, that's really what they're called. No, I don't know who named them that either.'
●The lap monopoly, your Snorkie's genuine outrage when another human, pet, or laptop occupies the space they've designated as exclusively theirs, which is all of you.
●That terrier stubbornness wrapped in Schnauzer intelligence, they absolutely understand what 'come here' means, they've simply decided that the command doesn't apply to them right now.
