Chi-Poo Versus Schipperke: Introduction
Are you thinking of getting a new pet dog, and you have narrowed down your choices to the Chi-Poo and the Schipperke? Well, you have come to the right place.

Furthermore, we will let you know which one of the Chi-Poo and the Schipperke is better suited for new dog owners, for owners with kids, for owners that live in apartments, for owners with dog allergies, etc.
Importantly, we did some analysis and calculation and we obtained a number that we call the Better-Pet Score™ for both the Chi-Poo and for the Schipperke. The dog breed with the higher Better-Pet score is the `better` pet. We hope that these Better-Pet Scores will provide you with more insight into deciding which pet to get between the Chi-Poo and the Schipperke.
Our only goal here is to help you make a well-thought-out decision on your next long-term companion, be it the Chi-Poo or the Schipperke.
Chi-Poo versus Schipperke: Overview
A very important difference between the Chi-Poo and the Schipperke is the size difference between the two dog breeds. The Chi-Poo is a small-sized dog while the Schipperke is a tiny-sized dog.
Furthermore, the Chi-Poo belongs to the Mixed Breed Dogs group. Mixed Breed Dogs are not purebred dogs.
On the other hand, the Schipperke belongs to the Companion Dogs group. Companion Dogs were bred to be companions for humans. Their main goal in life is to be with people, and they will be very sad if left to themselves for long hours day after day.
Chi-Poo versus Schipperke: Comparison Table
The table below compares the Chi-Poo to the Schipperke 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
Most of the factors in the table for each dog breed are ranked on a scale of 1 to 5. “1” means “worst”, and “5” means “best”.
However, some factors such as “Price”, “Average Lifespan”, etc. cannot be on a scale of 1 to 5, so they are not on a scale of 1 to 5 in the comparison table.

Next, we added the scores of the factors that can be added together for the Chi-Poo in the table (that is, `Ease of Grooming` score + `General Health` score + `Calmness` score + …etc) and we compared it to the corresponding total score for the Schipperke. We call these total scores the Better-Pet Scores, as we mentioned earlier. We called this score the Better-Pet score because the better dog breed will have a higher score. This is because the pet will the higher score will have minimal needs and be easier to have as a pet.
The Better-Pet score for the Chi-Poo is 90 out of 125 while the Better-Pet score for the Schipperke is 73 out of 125.

Although we have done our best to analyze these two dog breeds in a very unbiased way, however, we will like to let you know that there are some dog attributes that cannot be assigned a number for comparison. We cannot put a number on how cute a dog breed is, for example. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Also, the dog breed that best suits you will depend on your peculiar lifestyle, your taste, and your priorities, which we do not know. So, for you to decide on which breed is right for you, read through the rest of the article to further understand both the Chi-Poo and the Schipperke so that you can make your own well-informed decision on which pet to get.
