Bich Poo versus Stabyhoun: Overview

A very important difference between the Bich Poo and the Stabyhoun is the size difference between the two dog breeds. The Bich Poo is a small-sized dog while the Stabyhoun 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 Stabyhoun belongs to the Sporting Dogs group. Sporting Dogs were bred to help hunters catch and retrieve feathered game. Some sporting dog breeds such as Retrievers, which were built for swimming, were bred to hunt waterfowl in water. Whereas sporting dog breeds like setters, spaniels, and pointing breeds were bred to hunt quail, pheasant, and other game birds nest on grasslands. Many Sporting Group breeds have thick, water-repellent coats that protect them from harsh hunting conditions.

Bich Poo versus Stabyhoun: Comparison Table
