Schnauzer/Yorkie mix...? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

That was my first thought. You need to get your female to your vet asap and find out if she is pregnant. If she is, your vet may advise you to terminate her pregnancy.

Huh, I never thought about two different sized dogs breeding being a problem, but it should have been obvious to me. Interesting. This is a little off-topic, but what would happen if say, a lab mom and a yorkie dad mated? Would the puppies survive with that big of a difference in them?

BTW, the yorkie/schnauzer pictures are really cute... I have a (mostly) yorkie now, but I grew up with mini schnauzers all my life. I love them both!!! :-)

It's not a question of the puppies surviving, but the mother. Too large puppies can kill her.

Oh yes, in this situation definitely that would be the concern. But I was trying to ask about the mom being a big dog and the dad being a tiny dog... I'd imagine the mom could handle that easily. You're saying that the puppies would be fine? I'm just curious.

I think the babies would be ok. Since the breeds are so different there just might be more genetic variation. Bottom line is they're both dogs, mixing shouldn't be a problem. It's not like you're mixing a cat with a dog.
I once saw an ad for someone selling/rehoming a yorkie-rottweiler mix (sorry if I misspelled that). It looked like a med sized dog that looked a lot like a yorkie.

Just wanted to add, the doggies from the link are so cute!! If you do have puppies, they are probably going to find homes quickly!

London is a snorkie. shes beautiful, happy and healthy. her mom was a mini schnauzer and her dad was a yorkie. i love her so much.

ladymabe · 12-07-2008, 06:45 AM

Mya has 10 inch legs, neck to stubby 21 ins around her snooter is 8 ins and she is 18 lbs 2 ozs. I need to know how to trim her face as I don't want her to look like the schnauzer because she has such a cute Yorkie face.
There wasn't anymore info from Mississippi,or Ohio about her puppies. Presumed drowned . I am just so grateful to have her.

I moved so I don't know what acutally happened to to mother of my babies...I do know that she had about four puppies that were a schnauer/yorkie mix.

Im wondering how a yorkie bred with a rottweiler? Did the yorkie use a ladder?

Tobie22 · 03-10-2009, 04:13 AM

My friend has a yorkie schnauer mix and it is soo cute, to me it looks more like a yorkie but you can see the schnauer in it. I grew up with a miniature schnauzer and they are very smart dogs.

It sounded rediculous, that's what caught my attention. The ad had a picture and it did look like a yorkie rott mix!!! How those two bred... who knows! We can only guess.

I think I may have a schnauzer yorkie mix. They are called snorkies. I rescued mine from the animal shelter.

Yes, I saw some at my local pet store, they called them Snorkies. They were very cute but I thought the $500.00 plus asking price was crazy for a mix breed.

littlepixie12 · 08-11-2009, 07:05 AM

yes, they are shorkies and very cute!

In NY, I see Shorkies all the time and they start at around 1300+
