Harrier versus Saint Berdoodle: Overview
A very important difference between the Harrier and the Saint Berdoodle is the size difference between the two dog breeds. The Harrier is a medium-sized dog while the Saint Berdoodle is a large-sized dog.
Furthermore, the Harrier belongs to the Hound Dogs group. Hound Dogs were bred to pursue and hunt warm-blooded animals. Hounds hunt by using their good sight or their good sense of smell.

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.
