I have owned both these breeds and have to disagree with this comparison. You need to research the breeds, or at least own them, as there is a lot more to know about these breeds. Having had them for years, I know an awful lot about both breeds.

I agree with Amanda. Whoever rated this did not do any real research on these 2 breeds or have any firsthand experience with them. I have spent a lot of time with both of them and my view is vastly different than the comparison here. Do more research.
