snorfle, v.
loud and enthusiastic sniffing of the ground by a large dog in the hope of something to eat or something dead to roll on.
There seem to be various definitions of this word, but this is the most accurate one I found as relates to Airedale terriers. It's the "loud and enthusiastic" part that makes this different from the common sniffing the ground. Sometimes the 'dales use their noses to move leaves and dirt around to get a deeper snorfle. Ya gotta love Airedales!
I think every Airedale who's ever lived with us has snorfled. How about your Airedales?
