Sloughi Versus Westiepoo: Introduction
Are you thinking of getting a new pet dog, and you have narrowed down your choices to the Sloughi and the Westiepoo? Well, you have come to the right place.

Importantly, we did some analysis and calculation and we obtained a number that we call the Better-Pet Score™ for both the Sloughi and for the Westiepoo. The dog breed with the higher Better-Pet score is the `better` pet. We hope that these Better-Pet Scores will provide you with more insight into deciding which pet to get between the Sloughi and the Westiepoo.
Our only goal here is to help you make a well-thought-out decision on your next long-term companion, be it the Sloughi or the Westiepoo.
Sloughi versus Westiepoo: Overview
A very important difference between the Sloughi and the Westiepoo is the size difference between the two dog breeds. The Sloughi is a large-sized dog while the Westiepoo is a small-sized dog.
Furthermore, the Sloughi belongs to the Hound Dogs group. Hound Dogs were bred to pursue and hunt warm-blooded animals. Hounds hunt by using their good sight or their good sense of smell. Dogs that belong to the Hound Group have strong prey drives and often will stop at nothing to catch what they are pursuing.
On the other hand, the Westiepoo belongs to the Mixed Breed Dogs group. Mixed Breed Dogs are not purebred dogs.
Sloughi versus Westiepoo: Comparison Table
The table below compares the Sloughi to the Westiepoo based on different important factors such as Price, Health, Kid-friendliness, etc.
When a dog breed scores higher for a factor than the other dog breed, the box of the breed that scores higher is shaded green and the box of the breed that scores lower is shaded red. When there is no difference between the breeds for a particular factor then the box is shaded gray for both pets. Also, when the factor is not important in picking a pet, or when the factor cannot be compared between two pets, the box for the factor is shaded gray for both pets
Most of the factors in the table for each dog breed are ranked on a scale of 1 to 5. “1” means “worst”, and “5” means “best”.
However, some factors such as “Price”, “Average Lifespan”, etc. cannot be on a scale of 1 to 5, so they are not on a scale of 1 to 5 in the comparison table.
Later in this article, we will further explain each factor as it applies to the Sloughi and the Westiepoo

Next, we added the scores of the factors that can be added together for the Sloughi in the table (that is, `Ease of Grooming` score + `General Health` score + `Calmness` score + …etc) and we compared it to the corresponding total score for the Westiepoo. We call these total scores the Better-Pet Scores, as we mentioned earlier. We called this score the Better-Pet score because the better dog breed will have a higher score. This is because the pet will the higher score will have minimal needs and be easier to have as a pet.
The Better-Pet score for the Sloughi is 79 out of 125 while the Better-Pet score for the Westiepoo is 83 out of 125.
Based on their Better-Pet scores, the Westiepoo is a better pet than the Sloughi. So, you should get the Westiepoo!
Although we have done our best to analyze these two dog breeds in a very unbiased way, however, we will like to let you know that there are some dog attributes that cannot be assigned a number for comparison. We cannot put a number on how cute a dog breed is, for example. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Also, the dog breed that best suits you will depend on your peculiar lifestyle, your taste, and your priorities, which we do not know. So, for you to decide on which breed is right for you, read through the rest of the article to further understand both the Sloughi and the Westiepoo so that you can make your own well-informed decision on which pet to get.
