The Snorkie is such a sweet hybrid dog breed that is very sought after. This combines a miniature or toy Schnauzer with a Yorkie. The result gives a cute small breed dog. Unfortunately, the AKC does not recognize this dog breed as a purebred for now; it is still classified into the designer dog breed category.
Have you been trying to get your hands on Snorkie puppies for sale? If you said yes, let me take the time to help you by recommending three reputable Snorkie breeders to you. Keep reading on to learn more about how you can get one of these dogs.
How Much is a Snorkie Puppy?
As you may already know, designer dog breeds can sometimes cost even more than purebred dog breeds. For example, the Snorkie puppy can cost between $1,750 to $2,500. However, keep in mind every breeder is different, and you may find one that charges less or even more than the typical price range.
Don’t forget that the price does not stop there. If you need your dog shipped to you, that will add on an additional cost. Even keeping the dog will cost you money based on the food, toys, and vet visits you will need to make.

TLC Puppy Love
TLC Puppy Love is a kennel operated and run by a family. Stacy Collins is the main owner and doggy midwife at this kennel. Stacy started breeding Chow Chows in the 1980s but had to stop breeding them due to a development of strong allergies to the dog breed.
In 2007 she discovered the world of hypoallergenic and non-shedding dogs. This opening up breeding as a possibility again for her. She began breeding the Yorkie, Shih Tzu, and Maltese dog breeds. This love of breeding expanded to even more dog breeds and then specialty designer dog breeds.

Snorkie Rescue
The bad thing about getting a mixed breed from a rescue is that there aren’t any rescues for mixed breeds. I was not able to find a specific Snorkie rescue to link for you.
What I do suggest that you do if you want to get a Snorkie from a rescue is to look to the parent breed-specific rescues. So, for example, maybe search for a rescue that specializes in Schnauzers or Yorkies. Sometimes those breed-specific rescues also take in mixes. Definitely worth the try if you are trying to go this route.
