A very important difference between the Papipoo and the Pyrenean Shepherd is the size difference between the two dog breeds. The Papipoo is a tiny-sized dog while the Pyrenean Shepherd is a small-sized dog.
Furthermore, the Papipoo belongs to the Mixed Breed Dogs group. Mixed Breed Dogs are not purebred dogs.
On the other hand, the Pyrenean Shepherd belongs to the Herding Dogs group. Herding Dogs were bred for moving livestock, including sheep, cattle, and even reindeer. Herding dogs work closely with their human shepherds, and their natural intelligence and responsiveness make them highly trainable.

Their intelligence, agility, and activity level make them well suited to dog sports.
