Getting a well bred puppy from a good breeder is extremely important, even more so if this dog will be around small children. Puppies from pet stores/puppy mills and many backyard breeders are not handled enough by humans early on and can have socialization problems later on. You also want to make sure you get a puppy from a good breeder, one who is breeding for the lovely temperament each of these two breeds have or you could end up with a nasty dog. It is buyer beware when buying either breed as there are a lot of scammers out there.

I second this. I was a little shocked by your plans to get a dog in a month, much less a week. If you've waited this long, you might as well wait a little longer for a quality dog from a quality breeder, and not from a nasty puppy mill or backyard breeder. It will make all the difference in the world in the temperament of your pet. Good luck, whatever you decide.
