From what I have heard, there are no purebred Campbells or Winter Whites in the USA or Canada any more and everything advertised as either a Winter White or Campbell will have some degree of hybridisation. However there may be some that bear a strong resemblance to either one of the purebred species.

In terms of personality, it used to be that Campbells had a reputation for being more nippy and the Winter Whites, a little bit more laid back but having handled both of the two species at shows, I would say that this is more of a generalisation and I have seen some Campbells at shows that have been absolutely adorable and Winter Whites that weren't what you'd describe as being laid back.
