A very important difference between the Caucasian Shepherd Dog and the Westiepoo is the size difference between the two dog breeds. The Caucasian Shepherd Dog is a giant-sized dog while the Westiepoo is a small-sized dog.
Furthermore, the Caucasian Shepherd Dog belongs to the Working Dogs group. Working Dogs were developed to assist humans in some capacity – including pulling sleds and carts, guarding flocks, guarding homes, and protecting their families. Breeds in the Working Group are known for their imposing stature, strength, intelligence, and fearless. Because of their size and strength, working dogs require a structured home life and firm, fair, consistent training by someone who can provide leadership without resorting to anger or physical force.
