Canaan Dog versus Westiepoo: Overview
A very important difference between the Canaan Dog and the Westiepoo is the size difference between the two dog breeds. The Canaan Dog is a medium-sized dog while the Westiepoo is a small-sized dog.
Furthermore, the Canaan Dog 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.
On the other hand, the Westiepoo belongs to the Mixed Breed Dogs group. Mixed Breed Dogs are not purebred dogs.
