snuffler
One who sniffs
A snuffler is someone or something that snuffles—breathing noisily through the nose, often while sniffing or rooting around.
Dogs are natural snufflers, nosing through leaves or along the ground.
A person with a cold or allergies might become a snuffler, making congested sounds while breathing.
The word suggests persistent, audible nasal activity: The old hound was a dedicated snuffler, investigating every corner of the yard.
