A very important difference between the Chinese Shar-Pei and the Bich Poo is the size difference between the two dog breeds. The Chinese Shar-Pei is a medium-sized dog while the Bich Poo is a small-sized dog.
Furthermore, the Chinese Shar-Pei belongs to the Working Dogs group.

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.
