A very important difference between the Giant Schnauzer and the Pomapoo is the size difference between the two dog breeds. The Giant Schnauzer is a large-sized dog while the Pomapoo is a tiny-sized dog.
Furthermore, the Giant Schnauzer belongs to the Working Dogs group.

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.
