Mistbeller
This rather gracefully named breed of farmyard guardian was generally the German equivalent of the English Dung-heap dog, Mistbeller literally thanslates as 'manure barker'.
There is evidence to show that Mistbeller was a common name for all the Spitz variants found in German-speaking states in the mid-nineteenth century, probably because they were seen as farm dogs.
