I can't tell you anything about the breeds you mentioned, but I can say that getting a dog that's already housebroken and/or partially trained can be a lot less stressful. We have 2 Springer spaniels, Jake and Jesse. Jesse was 8 weeks old when we got him and we had to go through the whole housebreak routine. Long story, but Jake was 5 months old when we got him, housebroken and almost completely obedience trained. It was so much easier on everyone. Go adopt an older dog when you are ready. I doubt you will regret it.
