Carolina Dog versus Bich Poo: Overview

A very important difference between the Carolina Dog and the Bich Poo is the size difference between the two dog breeds. The Carolina Dog is a medium-sized dog while the Bich Poo is a small-sized dog.

Furthermore, the Carolina Dog 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.
