One word that I have run across is: Hob for a mischievous sprite? I don't know of a specific story, but I am pretty comfortable that it belongs in the milieu of the sidhe, dryads, and other similar beings.
When I was looking it up, I ran across reference that hobbit predated Tolkien and was related to 'sprites and bogies'.
Anyway, it seems that Hob would be an appropriate name for a mischievous pup.
