A very important difference between the Stabyhoun and the Westiepoo is the size difference between the two dog breeds. The Stabyhoun is a medium-sized dog while the Westiepoo is a small-sized dog.
Furthermore, the Stabyhoun belongs to the Sporting Dogs group. Sporting Dogs were bred to help hunters catch and retrieve feathered game.

Whereas sporting dog breeds like setters, spaniels, and pointing breeds were bred to hunt quail, pheasant, and other game birds nest on grasslands. Many Sporting Group breeds have thick, water-repellent coats that protect them from harsh hunting conditions.
