The German Spitz: Mittle
The mittle, or standard, form of the German Spitz is the third largest of th five varieties. Like the Giant German Spitz, it is usually bred in solid colors. In British show rings all varieties and markings are acceptable.
The watchful demeanor of these dogs initially led to their being highly valued on farms, but they also make very rewarding companion dogs as well.
Like the other German Spitz, the Mittel has a harsh, long outercat and a soft, woolly undercoat. They are 11 and a half to 14 inches tall and weigh about 25 pounds.
