Some excellent advice on crate training!
I'd just add to research breeders, and DO NOT buy a puppy from a pet store. My dog that I got through breed rescue spent the first 4 months of her life in a pet store, and she has issues that ten years of training hasn't solved.
There are disreputable breeders also, and the breeds you're considering are very popular, which can lead to over-breeding to meet demand. A good breeder's priorities are temperament, health, and conformation to breed standard, and will not mate dogs that will pass undesirable behavior traits (e.g. aggression) or genetic conditions on to the next generation. And a good breeder will also ask you lots of questions to make sure that you will give the puppy a good home.
Best of luck on your dog-owning adventure!
