Is that really his name? My in-laws had a little dog called Schnitzel for years and years. He looks like a very nice dog :-)

actually, her name is mitzy. schnitzel is just kind of a nickname i have for her. she's a sweetheart - a rescue dog we adopted from the local animal shelter last september.

j, It is so wonderful that you adopted her. I bet she is really smart! What a great picture. She looks like she knows EXACTLY what you are saying to her :) I have an adopted German Shepard...his name is Eiko...he is HUGE! Congrats on a great dog and a great photo!

schnitzel is a peace of meat that you eat,
perpetrated a certain way in germany.
i wouldn't call my dog that.
sorry
but he is very cute and do not eat him or her -

ha! yes, 'slice' or 'morsel', often of veal. in this case, 'schnitzel' is intended as a term of endearment, not as food, per se. we silly humans often refer to beloved pets - even people - by food names: honey, cupcake, cookie, sugar, ...i'm sure there are more.
since her name is "mitzy", 'schnitzel' seems a logical, if slightly off-kilter lingual 'sound-alike'. particularly in a household like this one, in which yiddish words are thrown around like schmattes.
i can assure you that she is a beloved member of the family, and not on the menu! :-)
