A very important difference between the Papipoo and the Spanish Mastiff is the size difference between the two dog breeds. The Papipoo is a tiny-sized dog while the Spanish Mastiff is a giant-sized dog.

Furthermore, the Papipoo belongs to the Mixed Breed Dogs group. Mixed Breed Dogs are not purebred dogs.

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.
