A very important difference between the Giant Schnauzer and the Bich Poo is the size difference between the two dog breeds. The Giant Schnauzer is a large-sized dog while the Bich Poo is a small-sized dog.

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.
