bitzer^¹

Where it comes from

Unknown. Originally used of dogs. Perhaps from bits + -er, in reference to the dog's composition from multiple different "bits". The spelling with tz may be influenced from other names of breeds (e.g. spitz, shih tzu, etc.) or in imitation of German names. Compare also German Betze (“bitch, female dog”).
