We hope that these Better-Pet Scores will provide you with more insight into deciding which pet to get between the Bich Poo and the Puli.

Bich Poo versus Puli: Overview
A very important difference between the Bich Poo and the Puli is the size difference between the two dog breeds. The Bich Poo is a small-sized dog while the Puli is a medium-sized dog.
Furthermore, the Bich Poo belongs to the Mixed Breed Dogs group. Mixed Breed Dogs are not purebred dogs.
On the other hand, the Puli belongs to the Herding Dogs group. Herding Dogs were bred for moving livestock, including sheep, cattle, and even reindeer. Herding dogs work closely with their human shepherds, and their natural intelligence and responsiveness make them highly trainable. They have high levels of energy, which needs to be channeled properly to prevent destructive behavior. Herding breeds are protective of their people and property and make excellent watchdogs. Their intelligence, agility, and activity level make them well suited to dog sports.
Bich Poo versus Puli: Comparison Table
The table below compares the Bich Poo to the Puli 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
