English Setter versus Papipoo: Overview
A very important difference between the English Setter and the Papipoo is the size difference between the two dog breeds. The English Setter is a medium-sized dog while the Papipoo is a tiny-sized dog.
Furthermore, the English Setter belongs to the Sporting Dogs group. Sporting Dogs were bred to help hunters catch and retrieve feathered game. Some sporting dog breeds such as Retrievers, which were built for swimming, were bred to hunt waterfowl in water. Whereas sporting dog breeds like setters, spaniels, and pointing breeds were bred to hunt quail, pheasant, and other game birds nest on grasslands. Many Sporting Group breeds have thick, water-repellent coats that protect them from harsh hunting conditions.
On the other hand, the Papipoo belongs to the Mixed Breed Dogs group. Mixed Breed Dogs are not purebred dogs.
