[edit] Appearance
The German Spitz Mitel is very similar to the other sizes of Spitz's. To qualify as a particular class of Spitz the dog is catagorised by size. (30-38cms measured at the withers and be between 7 to 11kgs by weight) [1], [2].
Example of Mittel
This is a picture of 'Deedee'. She is 12 years old and is seen here posing on Hadrian's Wall in Scotland (Mile fort 42). She is a about as big as a Mittel can be. The picture shows her with her tail down which is probably due to the cold wind!
[edit] Good aspects of these dogs

- Soft, silk-like fur
- They love exercise but do not need as much exercise as other breeds and are quite happy sitting at home on a comfy cushion
[edit] Not so good aspects of these dogs
- Like to bark (or yap)
- Drop hair
This links gives a good description of the breed [3].
