A very important difference between the Schnoodle and the Spanish Mastiff is the size difference between the two dog breeds. The Schnoodle is a large-sized dog while the Spanish Mastiff is a giant-sized dog.
Furthermore, the Schnoodle belongs to the Hybrid Dogs group. Hybrid Dogs are the offspring of 2 or more known, but different, dog breeds.

Working Dogs were developed to assist humans in some capacity – including pulling sleds and carts, guarding flocks, guarding homes, and protecting their families. Breeds in the Working Group are known for their imposing stature, strength, intelligence, and fearless. Because of their size and strength, working dogs require a structured home life and firm, fair, consistent training by someone who can provide leadership without resorting to anger or physical force.
