I'm thinking of getting a dog, but since I'm in an apartment it kind of limits me to only small dogs. I can't stand little yappie ankle-biter types and I've narrowed it down to these two breeds and was wondering if anybody here owned these types of dogs and could give me some advice on which one would be the better pick. Also, are there any other "masculine" small dog breeds out there that I'm overlooking? Oh, and short-haired is a must!
